Built on Secret Network

Secret Network is a layer-one solution built with the Cosmos SDK leveraging proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus using Tendermint's Byzantine fault-tolerant algorithms. Secret Contracts on Secret Network achieve data privacy for Shade Protocol using on-chain encrypted data with Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs).

What are Silk and shade?

Silk is a native privacy-preserving stablecoin

Silk is a privacy-preserving stablecoin pegged to a basket of global currencies and commodities that can be minted on Shade Protocol using Secret Tokens on ShadeLend. Silk inherits the SNIP20 token standard, meaning all transactions with Silk are private.

Shade is the Native Governance Token of the Shade Protocol

The Shade Token ('Shade' or 'SHD') serves as the treasury, utility, arbitrage, and governance token of Shade Protocol. As more applications are launched and connected to Shade Protocol, more rewards and fees are directed towards Shade stakers.

Testnet

Contracts are deployed to the Secret Network testnet and the front-end application is built in preparation for mainnet launch. Feedback is obtained from our user testing community to ensure a positive experience with our applications.

Audits

We value the importance of user's safety when interacting with Shade Protocol and therefore all the contracts we develop will go through audits to ensure no vulnerabilities are found.

Mainnet

During this final stage, Shade Protocol is deployed to mainnet for users to begin using. With mainnet, Silk becomes available to the entire world of DeFi.
