What is Shell Finance

Shell Finance is a stablecoin protocol operating on the Bitcoin Layer1 network. It allows users to leverage on-chain Bitcoin assets (including BTC, Ordinals, Runes, BRC-20, Atomicals, etc.) as collateral to obtain synthetic asset $sUSD issued by Shell Finance.

Shell Finance's business model is similar to that of MakerDAO, where users pledge their assets within Shell Finance to borrow synthetic assets $sUSD, with Shell Finance acting as the intermediary in the lending process. This model enables Shell Finance to meet the $sUSD borrowing needs of a wide range of users, achieving efficient liquidity from individuals to pools in the UTXO model.
