Charles – Co-founder of Shield: I’m doing pretty good.
Yuno – Blockelite Host: So great
On to the Segment 1 of our AMA, we hope you’re ready for the next few questions coming at you!
Charles – Co-founder of Shield: Yes les rock~
Yuno – Blockelite Host: Our guest is ready, we will enter Segment 1 right now !!!
Q1: Can you explain to us what Shield is going to build ?
Charles – Co-founder of Shield: Shield is trying to be the Uniswap tailored for derivative products. It is a user-friendly protocol that enables smooth transactions ready for mass adoption. Shield aims to be a truly decentralised trading protocol specialised in derivative products. You are able to trade the academically-innovative everlasting option products on the Shield platform and other derivative products including perpetual swaps and other structured products built upon Shield. Shield is aspired to be the next generation of infrastructure for decentralised derivative trading that everyone can use.
We are on coin98 wallet it is easy to have a trial.
Yuno – Blockelite Host: Thanks for answer, next question
Perfect, I use coin98 and hope everyone use also it
Q2: What core innovations do you think that will help Shield stand out from numerous derivative protocols?
Charles – Co-founder of Shield: Shield is the first derivative protocol that achieve high capital efficiency, low LP counterparty risk and no impermanent loss all at same time.
Shield introduces P2DP(Peer to Dual pools) which essentially solves the LP counterparty risk of on-chain derivatives by introducing two types of pools, private ones for professional market makers and public one for regular users, that ensures on-chain liquidity and minimal risks for regular users. Professional market makers can provide risk-free liquidity in the private pool through risk-hedging strategies or take orders first, while regular users can provide almost risk-free back-up liquidity in the public pool.
Besides, Shield designed a third-party liquidator system and a brokerage system based on non-cooperative game theory and introduced an innovative trading fees buy-back and burn mechanism, which resulted in a Nash equilibrium inside the protocol and ultimately delivered a perfect decentralised network.
Yuno – Blockelite Host: Oh, P2DP, this is the first time i know about it
Charles – Co-founder of Shield: peer 2 dual pools
instead of traditional peer 2 pool
Yuno – Blockelite Host: yeah, undertood =)
Next question
Q3: What highlighted features or user benefits of Shield do you think stand out the most that will help the project attract users?
Charles – Co-founder of Shield:
1- The whole trading experience over Shield is completely on-chain. Shield is genuinely a DeFi protocol that inherits all revolutionary traits after DeFi, non-custodial, transparent and censorship-resistant.
2- Shield’s perpetual option is the first zero price slippage, high leverage(50x-250x) and forced-liquidation risk-free product on the market. Limited downside and unlimited upside. Shield can be the killer protocol in this volatile crypto market.
Yuno – Blockelite Host: Zero price slippage =) sounds great
Charles – Co-founder of Shield: that is the magic of P2DP mechanism
Yuno – Blockelite Host: I used to trade with high slippage and I don’t like it 🙂 so crazy
Okay, thanks for answer
Continue with Q4

We wrapped up nicely the first part.
Are you ready for Segment 2 (5 best questions from twitter)?
Charles – Co-founder of Shield: yes
Yuno – Blockelite Host: Our guest is ready, we will start Segment 2 right now !!!
Q1: how will you minimize an “impermanence loss” risk as user provide liquidity in your Public pool that Shield DAO?
Charles – Co-founder of Shield: Shield implements P2DP(Peer to Dual Pool) mechanism to ensure strong liquidity to the protocol and use index price feed by the oracle, which avoid the risk of impermanent loss issue in the AMM mechanism.
Because of private pool that can hedge risks. Therefore, professional market makers can provide liquidity in the private pool without risk while ordinary users can provide liquidity in the public pool almost without risk, thus completely solving the problem of lack of liquidity for on-chain perpetual contract products.
Yuno – Blockelite Host:
Q2: Can you tell us about the team’s accomplishments so far? What are the primary goals that #Shield has yet to accomplish? If at all possible, give your road map as well.
Charles – Co-founder of Shield: The Shield team have been working on this project for almost one year and achieved many milestone so far. We closed $2M private round and complete the IDO within 3 mins. SLD get listed in Uniswap & Pancake Swap. Now launched mainnet on BSC and Shield Union with 200K SLD incentive.
Our daily trading volume has been at a record high in these days
With the deployment of Shield 1.0, we will focus on product adoption and CEX listing. In December, we plan to launch new products such as perpetual swaps and structure products, which showcase Shield competitive capability of financial entering and long-term value.
Yuno – Blockelite Host: Congrats

Charles – Co-founder of Shield: Yes, Shield is born for retails. How to service such retail traders in crypto when they access these sophisticated derivatives products has been one of the Shield’s initiatives to start the journey. With Shield perpetual options, users get to bypass the hassle of studying market conditions and determining the apt strike price, expiration date. It’s an extremely retail-friendly protocol with smooth transactions and clean UI.
