Shield Finance operates with a hard-capped 10 000 000 token supply and no post-launch inflationary emissions. All protocol revenue is programmatically allocated to buybacks, staking rewards, and treasury — with the majority directed toward permanent token removal.

Current Deployment Status (30 Nov 2025)

  • Initial liquidity: 1 000 000 SHIELD + 535 000 wFLR on SparkDEX V3
  • LP tokens locked 366 days via Team Finance
  • Current price range: $0.0112 – $0.0131
  • 24 h volume: $184 000 | Depth ±2 %: $41 000

Supply Schedule (Immutable)

Category Amount Details
SparkDEX V3 liquidity 1 000 000 Locked until Dec 2026
Initial circulating 5 350 000 Freely tradable
Ecosystem reserve 1 300 000 Linear 24-month unlock from Jan 2026
Merkle airdrop 2 000 000 Claimable; 30-day min lock required for boost
Treasury 350 000 5-of-8 multisig
Total supply 10 000 000 Fixed

No team allocation, no investor tokens, no admin mint functions after deployment.

Revenue Router Mechanics

shXRP vault fees (0.20 % entry + 0.20 % exit) accrue in wFLR. Every Sunday 00:00 UTC a permissionless keeper executes:

Allocation Destination Purpose
50 % Market-buy SHIELD → send to 0xdead Permanent burn
40 % Swap to FXRP → donate to vault Increases shXRP rebasing rate for stakers
10 % Multisig treasury Audits, bug bounties, future development

At $18.4 M TVL and observed 38 % annual turnover, this currently equates to ≈$36 800 of annual SHIELD buy-pressure at prevailing prices.

Staking Boost Schedule (Live)

Minimum Lock Yield Multiplier on shXRP
None 1.00×
30 days 1.08×
90 days 1.15×
180 days 1.25×

15.2 % of circulating supply is currently locked ≥90 days.

Risk & Sensitivity Observations

  • Low TVL scenarios materially reduce burn volume; upcoming RLUSD/USDC vaults (scheduled 9 Dec) are the primary mitigation.
  • Liquidity remains thin relative to Ethereum equivalents; large orders should use SparkDEX V3 TWAP routing or OTC.
  • Revenue accrual pauses during Flare network congestion; distributions resume automatically.
