TOKEN SHIELD DOCUMENTATION
Welcome to the complete technical documentation for Token Shield, the first decentralized insurance protocol designed specifically for high-risk Solana tokens and meme coins.
## INTRODUCTION
Token Shield is a community-driven DeFi insurance experiment that protects traders from catastrophic losses when trading high-volatility Solana tokens. By pooling premiums and leveraging on-chain oracles, we create a sustainable mechanism for automated payouts when predetermined risk events occur.
Status: Token Shield is currently in the conceptual/planning phase. This documentation represents our vision and intended mechanics. All specifications are subject to change based on community feedback, security audits, and market conditions.
## THE PROBLEM: MEME TOKEN VOLATILITY
The Solana ecosystem has become a hotbed for high-risk token launches, particularly meme coins and Pump.fun projects. While these assets offer potential for substantial gains, they also expose traders to severe risks:
- ├─ Rug Pulls: Developers drain liquidity or dump large holdings, causing 50-90% price crashes in minutes
- ├─ Flash Crashes: Whale sells trigger cascade liquidations, creating temporary but devastating drawdowns
- ├─ Liquidity Manipulation: Thin orderbooks make it easy for bad actors to manipulate prices
- ├─ Information Asymmetry: Insiders often have advance knowledge of negative events
- └─ No Insurance Options: Traditional insurance doesn't cover crypto, and existing DeFi protocols don't focus on meme-tier assets
These risks create a paradox: the tokens with the highest upside potential are also the most dangerous to hold, discouraging capital allocation even from risk-tolerant traders who understand the asymmetric bet.
📉 Real-World Example
Scenario: A trader buys $5,000 worth of a new Pump.fun meme coin at launch. The token 10x's over 48 hours to $50,000. The trader wants to hold for potential 100x but fears a dev dump.
Without Token Shield: Trader either sells early (misses upside) or holds naked (risks losing everything).
With Token Shield: Trader purchases 7-day coverage for 50% of position (~$250 premium). If dev dumps within coverage period causing >40% crash, trader receives $12,500 payout (50% of $25,000 loss), reducing total loss from $25,000 to $12,750 ($250 premium + $12,500 net loss).
## SOLUTION OVERVIEW
Token Shield addresses these risks through a decentralized, automated insurance protocol with the following core mechanisms:
Core Components
- ├─ Risk-Based Qualification: Automated on-chain criteria determine which tokens are eligible for coverage
- ├─ Flexible Coverage Options: Traders choose position size, coverage percentage (e.g., 30-70%), and duration (7-30 days)
- ├─ Premium Pooling: All premiums flow into a shared liquidity pool that pays claims and generates yield
- ├─ Oracle-Driven Triggers: Objective, verifiable on-chain events automatically initiate claim processing
- ├─ Instant Payouts: Smart contracts calculate and distribute SOL/USDC compensation within minutes of trigger confirmation
- ├─ Sustainability Mechanics: Pool funds are deployed to yield-generating DeFi protocols (Marginfi, lending markets) to ensure long-term solvency
- └─ DAO Governance: Community controls protocol parameters, oracle selection, and risk models
Token Shield doesn't try to eliminate risk (impossible in crypto). Instead, we provide a transparent, algorithmic way to cap downside while preserving upside, making it rational to hold conviction positions in high-risk assets.
Token Eligibility & Risk Criteria
Not all tokens qualify for Token Shield coverage. We use automated, on-chain criteria to identify genuinely high-risk assets that fit our protocol's risk profile.
Qualification Requirements
A token must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible: [feedback on criteria]
- Volatility Threshold: 30-day standard deviation of returns >50% (measured via Pyth price oracles)
- Liquidity Cap: Total liquidity (across all DEXs) <$2M USD
- Launch Recency: Token age <90 days from initial mint/launch
- Solana Native: SPL token on Solana mainnet with verified mint authority
- DEX Presence: Active trading on at least one Solana DEX (Raydium, Orca, Jupiter aggregated pools)
- Not Blacklisted: Token not on DAO-maintained blacklist (e.g., known scams, sanctioned addresses)
Risk Scoring
Eligible tokens receive a risk score (1-10) based on:
- Historical volatility (higher vol = higher score)
- Liquidity depth (thinner liquidity = higher score)
- Developer wallet holdings (>30% supply held by <5 wallets = higher score)
- Contract verification status (unverified = higher score)
- Social metrics (Twitter mentions, holder count - affects score)
This risk score directly impacts premium pricing. Higher risk = higher premiums, but also higher likelihood of payout events. [feedback on risk scoring]
Eligibility criteria may be adjusted by DAO governance as the protocol matures. Initial parameters are intentionally conservative to ensure pool sustainability during early phases.
## ENROLLMENT & PREMIUM MECHANICS
Enrolling in Token Shield coverage is designed to be simple and gas-efficient. Here's how the process works:
Step-by-Step Enrollment
- 1. Submit Position Details: Enter your Solana wallet address and token contract address via encrypted form (no wallet connection required)
- 2. Position Verification: Oracle verifies your token holdings on-chain at submission timestamp
- 3. Select Token: Choose from the list of eligible tokens (or enter contract address for eligibility check)
- 4. Choose Coverage Level: Select coverage percentage (30%, 50%, or 70% loss protection)
- 5. Select Duration: Pick coverage period (7, 14, 21, or 30 days)
- 6. VRF Policy Generation: System uses Chainlink VRF to generate unique policy ID + secret
- 7. Pay Premium: Send SOL/USDC to deterministic payment address (derived from policy ID)
- 8. Receive Policy Token: Get SPL token (TS-POLICY-####) in your wallet representing active coverage
- 9. Backup Policy Credentials: Download policy ID + secret (like private key - if lost, coverage unrecoverable)
Important: Token Shield uses a bearer bond model for maximum privacy. Your policy ID + secret are like a private key. Store them securely (download file, print backup, optional encrypted email). If all backups are lost, your coverage cannot be recovered.
Premium Calculation Formula
Premiums are algorithmically calculated using the following model:
Premium = PositionSize × CoverageLevel × Duration × RiskScore × BaseRate
Where:
- PositionSize: USD value of covered position
- CoverageLevel: 0.3, 0.5, or 0.7 (30%, 50%, 70%)
- Duration: Days / 30 (normalized to monthly)
- RiskScore: 1-10 (from eligibility assessment)
- BaseRate: 0.02 (2% monthly base, DAO adjustable)💰Position: $10,000 in $NEET token
Coverage: 50% loss protection
Duration: 14 days
Risk Score: 7/10 (high volatility, low liquidity)
Calculation:
Premium = $10,000 × 0.5 × (14/30) × 7 × 0.02
= $10,000 × 0.5 × 0.467 × 7 × 0.02
= $327.90 (paid in SOL or USDC)Result: Pay ~$328 to insure against losing more than $5,000 over 14 days.
Payment Options
- ├─ SOL: Native Solana token (most common, lowest gas)
- ├─ USDC: Stablecoin option for stable premium pricing
- └─ Future: Protocol governance token (discounted premiums for holders)
## TEAM INSURANCE (PROJECT-SPONSORED COVERAGE)
Beyond individual enrollment, Token Shield offers Team Shield - bulk coverage for token projects to protect their holder communities. This is a trust-building and community retention tool for teams.
Overview
Projects can sponsor insurance coverage for cohorts of their holders (e.g., "top 50 wallets by holdings"). This works with any existing SPL token - no smart contract modification required. Teams can enroll at any time after token deployment.
How It Works
- 1. Application: Project applies via Team Dashboard (provides token CA, holder cohort criteria)
- 2. Verification: Multisig wallet authentication or verified creator wallet signature proves legitimacy
- 3. Snapshot: System takes immutable snapshot of holder positions at application time
- 4. Premium Quote: Bulk premium calculated with 15-30% discount based on volume
- 5. Payment: Team pays bulk premium upfront (SOL/USDC) or installments with collateral
- 6. Activation: All covered holders automatically protected (opt-out available within 48h)
- 7. Notification: Holders notified via on-chain event (optional Discord/email webhook)
Team Premium Calculation
TeamPremium = (TotalCoveredValue × CoverageLevel × Duration × RiskScore × BaseRate) × BulkDiscount
Where:
- TotalCoveredValue: Sum of all covered wallet positions (USD)
- BulkDiscount: 0.70 - 0.85 (15-30% discount based on volume)
- Additional discounts for liquidity lock commitments
- Team Surcharge: +20-30% for moral hazard mitigation👥 Project: $BONK team wants to cover top 50 holders
💰 Total Coverage Value: $2,500,000
Coverage: 50% loss protection
Duration: 30 days
Risk Score: 6/10
Calculation:
Base Premium = $2,500,000 × 0.5 × 1.0 × 6 × 0.02 = $150,000
Bulk Discount (25 holders, 20%) = $150,000 × 0.80 = $120,000
Team Surcharge (+25%) = $120,000 × 1.25 = $150,000
Final Premium: $150,000 (paid by team)
Per holder cost: $150,000 / 50 = $3,000 eachResult: Team pays $150k upfront, all 50 holders automatically protected for 30 days.
Post-Deployment Enrollment
Critical feature: Teams can enroll at any time after token launch. No contract modification or upgrade required. Token Shield never touches project smart contracts - it operates as a pure insurance overlay via oracle snapshots.
Moral Hazard Mitigation
Risk: Projects might take more risks knowing holders are insured (or intentionally rug).
- ├─ Team Surcharge: 20-30% higher premium than individual coverage
- ├─ Liquidity Time-Locks: Discounts only if team locks LP (verified on-chain)
- ├─ DAO Review: Policies >$100k require governance approval
- ├─ Blacklist: Previous rug pullers cannot enroll
- ├─ Clawback Provision: If team dumps during coverage, DAO can claw back unused premium
- └─ Reputation System: On-chain track record affects future premium rates
Benefits for Projects
- ✓ Marketing Tool: "We insure our holders" = instant trust signal
- ✓ Community Retention: Holders less likely to panic sell during volatility
- ✓ Competitive Edge: Stand out in crowded meme token landscape
- ✓ Aligned Incentives: Demonstrates long-term commitment without code changes
Claim Triggers & Payout Process
Token Shield payouts are activated by objective, oracle-verified on-chain events. No manual claims required - when a trigger hits, the smart contract automatically processes eligible coverage policies.
Trigger Events
Any of the following events will trigger automatic claim processing:
1. Price Dump Trigger [feedback]
- Condition: Token price drops >40% within any rolling 24-hour window during coverage period
- Verification: Pyth oracle price feeds (requires 3 consecutive oracle updates confirming threshold)
- Example: $NEET trades at $0.50, drops to $0.28 over 18 hours → Trigger activated
2. Liquidity Drain Trigger [feedback]
- Condition: Total DEX liquidity drops >50% within any 24-hour window
- Verification: Jupiter aggregated liquidity data + individual DEX pool reserves
- Example: $NEET liquidity drops from $1.5M to $700k → Trigger activated
3. Developer Wallet Dump Trigger [feedback]
- Condition: Wallet(s) holding >5% of supply dumps >10% of total supply within 24 hours
- Verification: On-chain transaction monitoring of top holder wallets
- Example: Dev wallet sells 12% of total $NEET supply in one transaction → Trigger activated
Important: Multiple triggers within the same coverage period do NOT result in multiple payouts. Each coverage policy pays out at most once, for the first qualifying trigger event.
Payout Calculation & Execution
Once a trigger event is confirmed, payouts are calculated and distributed automatically:
Payout Formula
Payout = min(ActualLoss × CoverageLevel, MaxPayout)
Where:
- ActualLoss: USD value lost from entry to trigger
- CoverageLevel: 0.3, 0.5, or 0.7
- MaxPayout: PositionSize × CoverageLevel (payout cap)Deductibles & Caps [feedback on policy]
- Minimum Loss: 10% deductible (no payout if loss <10% of position)
- Maximum Payout: Capped at CoverageLevel × PositionSize (can't profit from coverage)
- Pool Limit: Total payouts capped at 80% of pool reserves (prevents insolvency)
🔄 Payout Example Scenarios
Scenario A: 50% Dump (Covered)
Position: $10,000 in $NEET, 50% coverage
Trigger: Price drops 45% in 20 hours
ActualLoss: $10,000 × 0.45 = $4,500
Payout: $4,500 × 0.5 = $2,250 SOL to wallet ✅Scenario B: 80% Rug Pull (Partial Coverage)
Position: $10,000 in $NEET, 50% coverage
Trigger: Liquidity drained, price drops 80%
ActualLoss: $10,000 × 0.80 = $8,000
Calculated: $8,000 × 0.5 = $4,000
MaxPayout: $10,000 × 0.5 = $5,000
Payout: $4,000 SOL to wallet ✅ (under cap)Scenario C: Minor Dump (No Payout)
Position: $10,000 in $NEET, 50% coverage
Event: Price drops 8% in volatile session
ActualLoss: $800 (below 10% deductible)
Payout: $0 ❌ (under minimum threshold)💬 Questions about payout mechanics? Submit feedback
Pool Sustainability & Yield Strategies
Long-term protocol viability depends on maintaining a healthy insurance pool that can pay claims without relying on perpetual premium inflows.
Pool Mechanics
- Premium Inflow: All user premiums flow into main insurance pool (minus 5% protocol fee)
- Yield Generation: Idle pool funds are deployed to yield-generating strategies
- Payout Reserve: 20% of pool kept in liquid SOL/USDC for instant payouts
- Over-Collateralization: Target ratio of 150% (pool value / active coverage value)
Yield Strategies
The pool generates returns through conservative DeFi strategies:
Primary Strategies (Launch Phase)
- Marginfi Lending: Deposit USDC/SOL in Marginfi lending markets (conservative ~5-8% APY)
- Solana Staking: Native SOL staking via validators (predictable ~7% APY)
- Stable LP Positions: USDC-USDT or similar stable pairs on Raydium (low IL risk)
Secondary Strategies (Future)
- Delta-neutral perpetual funding rate farming
- Automated market-making on select low-volatility pairs
- Cross-protocol yield optimization via aggregators
Risk Management: All yield strategies are DAO-approved and limited to audited, battle-tested protocols. Maximum 40% of pool can be in any single strategy to prevent concentration risk.
Solvency Monitoring
The protocol continuously monitors:
- Coverage Ratio: Pool Value / Active Coverage Value (target >150%)
- Utilization Rate: Active Coverage / Pool Capacity (max 70%)
- Claim Rate: Paid Claims / Collected Premiums (historical tracking)
If coverage ratio drops below <125%, the protocol automatically:
- Halts new enrollments until ratio recovers
- Increases premium rates by 20-50% (temporary)
- Triggers DAO emergency governance vote for intervention
Oracle Integration & Data Sources
Accurate, manipulation-resistant data is critical for fair trigger detection and payout calculation.
Primary Oracle: Pyth Network
- Price Feeds: Real-time price data for covered tokens (sub-second updates)
- Confidence Intervals: Statistical confidence scores prevent manipulation
- Multi-Publisher: Aggregated from 70+ first-party data providers
- On-Chain Verification: All prices cryptographically signed and verifiable
Secondary Data Sources
- Jupiter: Aggregated DEX liquidity data, routing information
- Birdeye API: Token holder distribution, wallet tracking
- Direct DEX Queries: Pool reserves from Raydium, Orca (backup verification)
- Solana RPC: On-chain transaction history, mint authority verification
Manipulation Prevention
To prevent oracle attacks and false triggers:
- Multi-Source Verification: Trigger requires consensus from 2+ data sources
- Time-Weighted Pricing: Use TWAP (time-weighted average) over 15-minute windows, not spot prices
- Outlier Rejection: Discard price points >3 standard deviations from median
- Liquidity Filters: Only use prices from pools with >$50k liquidity
- Delay Mechanism: 5-minute confirmation window before trigger activation (prevents flash-crash false positives)
Oracle Risk: While oracle manipulation is difficult in Pyth's design, it's not impossible. Users should understand this remains a protocol-level risk. See Risks & Limitations for details.
Smart Contract Architecture
Token Shield is built on Solana using the Anchor framework. The protocol consists of several core programs:
Core Programs
1. Coverage Manager Program
- Handles enrollment, premium collection, policy token minting
- Stores coverage policies (position size, duration, coverage level)
- Validates token eligibility on-chain
- Emits events for off-chain indexing
2. Oracle Monitor Program
- Subscribes to Pyth price feeds and other data sources
- Monitors active coverage policies for trigger events
- Performs trigger validation (multi-source, time-weighted)
- Initiates claim processing when triggers confirmed
3. Payout Engine Program
- Calculates payout amounts based on actual losses
- Applies deductibles, caps, and pool limits
- Executes SOL/USDC transfers to covered wallets
- Burns coverage policy tokens after payout
- Updates pool accounting and reserves
4. Pool Manager Program
- Manages insurance pool funds and reserves
- Deploys funds to yield strategies
- Monitors solvency ratios
- Implements emergency pause mechanisms
5. Governance Program
- DAO voting and proposal execution
- Parameter updates (risk criteria, premiums, caps)
- Treasury management
- Emergency interventions
Security Features
- No Admin Keys: Core programs are immutable post-deployment (upgrades require DAO vote)
- Timelocks: Parameter changes have 48-hour delay before execution
- Multi-Sig Guardians: Emergency pause requires 3-of-5 community multisig
- Formal Verification: Critical functions mathematically verified for correctness
- Bug Bounty: $100k+ program for responsible disclosure
Open Source: All smart contract code will be publicly available on GitHub before mainnet launch. Pre-deployment audits by at least 2 independent security firms (e.g., OtterSec, Neodyme).
Privacy & Zero-Knowledge Proofs
While Solana is a public blockchain, Token Shield implements privacy-preserving mechanisms to protect user positions from front-running and manipulation.
Privacy Challenges
- Position Visibility: Large coverage enrollments could signal whale positions
- Trigger Frontrunning: Bots could monitor coverage and sell before dumps
- Competitive Intelligence: Other traders could copy strategies based on coverage data
ZK-Based Solutions
We use zero-knowledge proofs to enable private coverage verification:
Enrollment Privacy
- Coverage policy details (position size, coverage level) stored as encrypted commitments on-chain
- Only the user's wallet can decrypt their coverage details
- Smart contract verifies eligibility without knowing actual position size (ZK-SNARK)
- Public observers only see aggregate pool metrics, not individual policies
Payout Privacy
- When trigger occurs, user submits ZK proof of eligible coverage
- Proof verifies: "I have active coverage for token X" without revealing amount
- Payout sent directly to wallet; transaction appears like normal transfer
- Optional: Use privacy-preserving wallets (e.g., Elusiv integration) for receiving payouts
Trade-off: Full privacy increases complexity and gas costs. Launch version may offer optional privacy (premium feature), with default semi-private mode (aggregated visibility).
Risks & Limitations
Token Shield is experimental DeFi infrastructure. Users must understand the following risks before participating:
Protocol Risks
1. Smart Contract Bugs
- Risk: Undiscovered vulnerabilities could lead to fund loss or exploits
- Mitigation: Multiple independent audits, formal verification, conservative deployment (testnet → limited mainnet → full launch)
- Residual Risk: No code is 100% bug-free; always possible
2. Oracle Manipulation
- Risk: Attackers could manipulate price feeds to trigger false payouts or prevent legitimate ones
- Mitigation: Multi-oracle design, time-weighted pricing, outlier rejection, liquidity filters
- Residual Risk: Sophisticated, well-funded attackers may find edge cases
3. Pool Insolvency
- Risk: Correlated claim events (e.g., market-wide crash) could deplete pool faster than premiums replenish it
- Mitigation: Conservative coverage limits, over-collateralization targets, dynamic premium pricing, emergency pause
- Residual Risk: Black swan events could overwhelm reserves
4. Yield Strategy Failures
- Risk: DeFi protocols holding pool funds could be exploited or fail
- Mitigation: Diversification across strategies, only battle-tested protocols, allocation caps, continuous monitoring
- Residual Risk: Cascading DeFi failures could impact pool value
Economic Risks
5. Moral Hazard
- Risk: Insured traders may take excessive risks, knowing downside is capped
- Mitigation: Deductibles, partial coverage only (no 100% insurance), premium adjustments
- Impact: Could lead to adverse selection and pool losses
6. Adverse Selection
- Risk: Only traders expecting dumps will buy coverage, skewing risk pool
- Mitigation: Dynamic pricing based on token risk scores, coverage caps per token
- Impact: May require higher premiums over time
Regulatory Risks
7. Legal Uncertainty
- Risk: Insurance is heavily regulated; DeFi insurance may face regulatory challenges
- Context: Decentralized, non-custodial design reduces but doesn't eliminate regulatory concerns
- Mitigation: Legal review in key jurisdictions, DAO structure (no single entity), geofencing if needed
- Impact: Could limit accessibility in certain regions
Operational Risks
8. Governance Attacks
- Risk: Malicious actors accumulate governance tokens and pass harmful proposals
- Mitigation: Timelocks, multi-sig guardians, vote-escrow incentive alignment
- Impact: Could change parameters unfavorably or drain treasury
Disclaimer: Token Shield is experimental software. Do not risk funds you cannot afford to lose. Coverage is not a guarantee of repayment. Always DYOR (Do Your Own Research) and understand the risks before participating.
DAO Governance
Token Shield is governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to ensure community control and prevent centralized points of failure.
Governance Token (Future)
A governance token (working name: $SHIELD) will be distributed to:
- Early coverage purchasers (retroactive airdrop)
- Liquidity providers to the insurance pool
- Community contributors (developers, auditors, educators)
- Treasury for future incentives and grants
Governance Powers
Token holders can vote on:
- Risk Parameters: Eligibility criteria, deductibles, coverage caps
- Premium Pricing: Base rates, risk score weighting, dynamic adjustments
- Oracle Selection: Adding/removing data sources, trust thresholds
- Yield Strategies: Approving new DeFi integrations, allocation limits
- Token Blacklist: Blacklisting/whitelisting specific tokens
- Treasury Management: Protocol fee allocation, grants, partnerships
- Emergency Actions: Pause/unpause protocol, emergency fund transfers
Voting Mechanics
- Proposal Threshold: 100k $SHIELD tokens to create proposal
- Voting Period: 7 days for discussion + 3 days for voting
- Quorum: 10% of circulating supply must vote
- Approval: 66% yes votes required for passage
- Timelock: 48-hour delay before execution (emergency pause bypasses)
Guardian Multisig
A 3-of-5 multisig composed of respected community members can:
- Execute emergency pause if critical vulnerability discovered
- Veto malicious governance proposals (e.g., drain treasury)
- Transfer to full DAO control once protocol matures
Progressive Decentralization: Initial launch will have temporary training wheels (multisig controls, parameter constraints). Full DAO control transitions over 6-12 months as protocol proves stable and community matures.
