What Is Shade - Shade Protocol

Shade: The Future of DeFi

Have you ever wondered why cryptocurrency isn’t integrated into your local grocery store?

Or why companies are not conducting their business fully on a blockchain?

The answer is privacy.

Commerce and our daily transactions expect and rely on privacy:

Credit/debit card purchases

Salaries

Contracts

Vendor purchases

App Privacy

(dating apps, Uber, healthcare, banking, etc.)

Tipping

Donations

Shade Protocol powers privacy for DeFi that is necessary
for Web3 to scale into our daily lives.

In addition to transactional privacy, Shade Protocol has a vision for Web3 apps that protect your data privacy.

Liquidations

I want to open a lending position without the whole world knowing my liquidation price point

Trading

I want to trade without everyone following my asset movements

Lending

I want to lend out an assets privately

Leverage

I want to enter a leverage position privately

Swaps

I want to privately swap assets or stablecoins

Derivatives

I want take a significant position in securing a blockchain through a staking derivative without losing my anonymity

The world of private smart contracts opens up a vast array of financial products that will power Web3 and Web2 as we know it. If transparency is a feature, so is privacy. Shade Protocol believes in order to onboard the business, consumers, and institutions of the future, we must bring parity (or improve) the degree of privacy that we all deserve and expect.

Freedom is transformative. Privacy liberates communities. It gives them agency and sovereignty.

A future of privacy is possible when builders and users unite – and we firmly believe that privacy is the key to unlocking the full value of a decentralized future.

That future of DeFi is Shade Protocol.
