On-going Schedule
Shield is positioned as a decentralized derivatives infrastructure and users will be able to trade various derivatives products developed on top of it, including perpetual options, perpetual swaps and structure products. Now we’re one step closer to the mission-partner with Gitcoin to launch bounty for structured products built on Shield protocol. The Hackathon is hosted from 1 Dec to 16 Dec, check the bounty now: https://www.google.com.hk/url?q=https://github.com/shielddaodev/shield-bounties/issues/1&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1638196276896000&usg=AOvVaw03O7t9P0NF7IdUsdRQT708

Future Plan
As seen in the roadmap, we’re still improving protocol and building derivatives products built on top of it, which showcase Shield’s competitive capability of financial engineering and long-term value. We sincerely hope more Shielders will come to build the ecosystem and more importantly early contributors will get benefits from one of the biggest DeFi Lego dividends.
December would be a more exciting period for Shield. Stay tuned!
