ShieldUSD
The world's first privacy-preserving, regulated USD stablecoin.
Built on Midnight Network, Cardano's privacy-focused sidechain, ShieldUSD brings institutional-grade compliance to private on-chain payments. Shield your transactions without sacrificing regulatory standing.
No spam. Institutional launch notifications only.
Privacy without compromise
ShieldUSD is designed for institutions that need confidentiality and compliance in equal measure.
Privacy-Preserving
Transaction amounts and counterparties are shielded by default using zero-knowledge proofs on Midnight Network.
Still Compliant
Selective disclosure and compliance keys let regulators audit when required. Privacy by default, not by evasion.
USD-Backed
Same 1:1 USD backing infrastructure as USDM. Fidelity + WAM custody. Decentralized oracle verification.
Cross-Chain Ready
Midnight Network bridges to Cardano, enabling ShieldUSD to move between public and private environments.
Selective Disclosure
Share only what you need, with whom you choose. Audit trails available for institutional compliance requirements.
Regulatory-First Design
Built from the ground up with compliance in mind, not retrofitted. Designed for institutional and enterprise use.
Who ShieldUSD is for

Institutional Settlement
Settle inter-bank or inter-institutional transactions with full confidentiality. Only counterparties see the amounts.
Treasury Operations
Pay suppliers and employees without exposing operational cash flows to competitors on a public blockchain.
