ShadeX

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

ShadeX 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.

ShadeX is a Lending protocol that lets users supply assets as collateral, borrow against them, and earn interest from borrowers paying variable or stable rates. It is deployed on Secret.

ShadeX is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Secret — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Secret, Secret-borrowed, borrowed), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users.
