Greetings community,

In this blog post we will outline Shade Protocol initiatives currently under development or fully completed. It’s been a busy month since the launch of Shade staking at the end of July with significant progress on multiple fronts tied to accessibility & product development.

Completed

The following is a list of accomplishments thus far in Q3, 2023:

• Final airdrop released

• Airdrop clawback has begun (August 1st - December 1st)

• Starshell Mobile support

• Fina Mobile support

• ALTER pool live on ShadeSwap

• stkd-SCRT SILK vault expanded

• SILK x USK pool

• Real Yield activation

• MantaDAO liquidity deal

• MetaMask support

Support for mobile is a huge step forward for Shade Protocol - a large % of users prefer mobile over desktop experiences. Now you can interact with ShadeSwap and check in on SILK from the palm of your hand.

In Development

The following is a list of objectives currently under development:

• Portfolio, Bonds, & Lend mobile support

• dSHD

• Liquidity Orderbook

• Card Tab on Shade App

• Coingecko support via API migration

• Addition of new ShadeLend vaults

• Support for Picasso bridge / Polkadot assets

A variety of other objectives have not cleared the threshold to be considered as in development, but rest assured there are a variety of other exciting initiatives that are soon to be added to the above list.

Conclusion

Shade Protocol is an ambitious array of application-layer products focused on a simple end user experience that involves the incorporation of privacy by default. These interconnected privacy-preserving DeFi products built on Secret Network will change DeFi as we know it — empowering the next generation of value creation and exchange.

Without privacy, DeFi is incomplete. Traditional financial markets offer a degree of privacy for users, and as a result offer up greater protections in some capacity than existing DeFi markets. Shade Protocol will be the world’s first truly cohesive decentralized and privacy-preserving financial applications — ushering in a golden era for Web3. Shade Protocol will always push for privacy by default, privacy as an expectation, and privacy as the key to unlocking the full value of a decentralized future.
