Introduction

AnchorShield Protocol

AnchorShield is a parametric insurance protocol built on Stellar (Soroban) designed to protect stablecoin holders and DAO treasuries from depeg events (like USDC or EURC losing their $1.00 peg).

Why AnchorShield?

DeFi relies entirely on stablecoins remaining stable. When a stablecoin depegs (even temporarily), cascading liquidations occur. AnchorShield provides a fully decentralized, mathematically guaranteed payout if a depeg happens.

  • Parametric: Payouts trigger automatically based on on-chain Oracles (Reflector). No claims adjusters. No waiting periods.
  • Flash-Crash Protected: Features a Sustained Breach Duration timer to ignore 1-second oracle glitches.
  • Fully Collateralized: Every $1.00 of coverage sold is backed by $1.00 of USDC sitting in the smart contract.

Developer First

AnchorShield's primary interface is the Soroban smart contract itself. DAOs can programmatically hedge their treasuries via mint_complete_set, and keepers can permissionlessly trigger settlements via try_settle.
