ShadeSwap

Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

ShadeSwap is published as a versioned release inside the Shade Protocol protocol family. Releases inside the same family typically share governance, brand, and large parts of the audit history, but each version can run materially different contract logic — a release labelled v2 or v3 is not just a UI refresh. Newer versions inside a family typically launch with their own audit cycle and parameter set, so do not assume the previous release's safety record carries over without checking the linked audit reports.

Fork lineage and parent-protocol relationships are tracked by DeFiLlama for security and audit-history attribution; a fork inherits the upstream design but not necessarily the upstream audits or governance.

ShadeSwap is a DEX — a decentralised exchange where users swap assets against on-chain liquidity pools rather than a central order book. It is deployed on Secret. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).

ShadeSwap is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Secret — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts.
