What is Shen ($SHEN)?

Shen is Djed’s reserve coin, which aims to guarantee the collateralization rate and the peg of the stablecoin. By minting $Shen, its holders provide the service of stability to $Djed users. In order to do so, they won't be able to burn $Shen for $ADA for as long the Reserve Ratio is below 400% because stablecoin users have priority to burn their stablecoins into a stable USD equivalent value paid in $ADA from the Reserve. The smart contract also won’t allow the purchasing of $Shen once a Reserve Ratio gets to 800% in order to avoid too much risk or rewards. By trading $Shen, users can contribute to the stablecoin mechanism by providing the appropriate liquidity to maintain a sufficient peg ratio. Having a reserve coin is crucial for the success of the stablecoin.

By utilizing the reserve coin, fees will be charged and entered into a transaction pool facilitated by the underlying stablecoin. $Shen holders then get a share of this transaction pool as an incentive for their participation in maintaining the stablecoin peg ratio.

Before the launch of Djed, we will be implementing a Reserve Coin that will serve this function of maintaining Djed’s peg and liquidity stability. We have provided some details on this below.
