Welcome noble warriors & knights. Welcome to Medieval Finance, an algorithmic token pegged to $scUSD on the Sonic blockchain; primarily focusing on stability. We are reimagining the OG "Tomb Finance", but with small tweaks and enhancements geared towards better sustainability, improved yield, and enhancing yield utilization.

Overview

The $SHIELD token serves as the foundational stability of the Medieval protocol. It's primary objective is to maintain a stable peg to $scUSD, giving the highest yields on the Sonic blockchain while utilizing Sonic's native assets.

The protocol dynamically adjusts the supply of $SHIELD based on market conditions, supply & demand, and sentiment. This keeps it's price healthy and in line with $scUSD, while rewarding its users and participants.

The protocol utilizes a two-token model, and consists of the following tokens:

• Shield ($SHIELD)

• Medieval Shares ($KNIGHT)

We are big supporters of SwapX and have strategically crafted $SHIELD to enhance it's utility within the Sonic ecosystem.

The protocol consists of three stages, each having its own purpose for a healthy, sustainable ecosystem:

• The Inception (Genesis)

• The Camelot Farms

• The Colosseum (Boardroom)

We are using a two-token system and strategically removing bonds from the picture:

• Shield ($SHIELD) - pegged to 1 $scUSD

• Medieval Shares ($KNIGHT) - share and governance token of the Medieval protocol

Additionally, we are integrating what we call "Big Brain" features and recommended strategies for using the protocol

Medieval Finance was founded by a group of "OGs" from the fast-evolving DeFi landscape, and have over 6 years of DeFi experience since the first app on Ethereum, called "Proof of Weak Hands". We've seen it all, what works and what doesn't. Learning from the mistakes of our predecessors, and our experience navigating every crevice of the DeFi landscape, we've carefully crafted Medieval Finance. Our main focus is sustainability & security, while keeping full transparency a priority. These things are every protocol's downfall. Whether its exploits, no utility, team mismanagement, unsustainable yield, or just straight up rugs, one of these will always kill their protocol.

*WARNING: While we aim to provide opportunities and favorable yield strategies, THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT. THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE. Everyone should be aware of the risks before investing or interacting with an experimental protocol like this.*

What is Medieval Finance?

Welcome to the Camelot Farms: the pulsing core and lifeblood of the Medieval protocol. These farms are built to reward liquidity providers with massive incentives, all while keeping the ecosystem stable and primed for sustainable growth. Powered by the SwapX v4 model, the Camelot farms emits steady emissions (regardless of peg) and pumps value into $SHIELD and $KNIGHT, lighting the fuse for the Colosseum (boardroom) launch and cementing stability and sustainability for the future. Whether you're diving in as a liquidity warrior or a diehard gladiator, the Camelot is where your grit and passion ignite the engine of this unstoppable DeFi machine.

Rewards & Incentives

The Camelot Farms is your gateway to unlocking $KNIGHT rewards by providing liquidity for Medieval's different trading pairs. When you join the action, you're not just stacking profits, you're fortifying the Medieval Finance protocol, boosting market efficiency, and anchoring the peg stability that keeps our ecosystem humming in perfect harmony. This is where your moves shape the future of the protocol, providing sustainability, strength, and most importantly: Growth.

The Camelot Farms are dynamically forged with a singular mission: to produce active participation, grow the depths of the liquidity pools, and expand across the Sonic network. This is no idle endeavor: every move you make here amplifies the protocol's strength, growing key trading pairs with liquidity while cementing a foundation for growth. With $KNIGHT rewards as your war chest, the Camelot demands your commitment to fuel the Medieval protocol that's built to dominate and endure.

Liquidity Pairs

The Camelot Farms will initially begin with 2 different pools and liquidity will be utilized using SwapX. We'll strategically be adding partner protocol's tokens and liquidity pairs at a later time, the farms will begin with:

• SHIELD/SCUSD (Classic Stable) LP

• KNIGHT/SCUSD (Classic Volatile) LP

*All liquidity is utilizing SwapX technology and strategies*

Contract

Alright, let's break it down. Bonds in tomb forks? They're like that friend who borrows cash and never pays you back. Meaning trouble from the jump. The pitch is simple: when the peg's underwater, you trade base tokens for bonds, burn the extras, and hope it jacks up the value. Later, if the peg bounces back, you can cash those bonds for a bonus. In theory, sounds like a great idea. But in reality, it's a terrible move. Those bonds stack up as debt the protocol has to shoulder, and after 100's of protocol failures, it's obvious they don't fix much and just tank confidence and momentum. Picture this: the peg's back, and instead of $KNIGHT holder popping champagne, the protocol's stuck paying off bondholders first. That's a momentum killer. So Medieval is ditching bonds to focus on real growth. No more debt traps.

Every warrior needs to have an epic inception story, right? Well, buckle up: this is ours, the Medieval Finance Inception Event. We forged Medieval Finance from the ashes, a protocol built for the long haul. It kicked off with a clear vision, ditch the baggage, crank up the staking, create utility & use-case, and let $KNIGHT and $SHIELD warriors run the show. Just a powerhouse community that every move deepens liquidity, sparks growth, and scores rewards that actually hit. This isn't just a regular launch, it's the dawn of a new DeFi era, and you are writing it with us.

Initial Distribution of the $SHIELD Token

To kickstart our foundation, and bootstrap the initial supply of $SHIELD, we are running a 7-day Origin Event, This will begin on March 28, 2025 at 10pm UTC.

Total $SHIELD distributed: 577,500 or 82,500 per day

Here is a list of the assets featured in the Incenption Event (7 days) and emissions per day:

• Token price of $SHIELD: $1.00 (pegged to $scUSD)

• Total Emissions: 577,500

*WARNING: $SHIELD NOT CLAIMED FROM THE INCEPTION EVENT AFTER 15 DAYS, WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY SENT TO THE TREASURY*

Step into The Colosseum: the battlefield powering $SHIELD emissions. This is where $KNIGHT holders stake their tokens, claiming $SHIELD rewards during growth epochs with every token locked in. Your resolve here doesn't just pad your holdings, it fuels the protocol's surge, driving growth and anchoring sustainability. The Colosseum isn't for the faint of heart; it's the crucible where Medieval's future is forged and gladiators are born.

Colosseum's Function

The Colosseum is your 1-stop spot for staking $KNIGHT and snagging some of those sweet $SHIELD rewards. It's a locked, single-staking setup, where you toss in your $KNIGHT, kick back, and watch the expansion rewards roll in. Not only does it keep you in the game for the long haul, but it also helps keep the $SHIELD vibes steady and the Medieval ecosystem humming along nicely. Easy, rewarding, no impermanent loss, and a win for everyone.

Ready to dive into it? Here's the breakdown: it runs on

Whether staking or providing liquidity, knowing Medieval's economic phases is crucial for balancing returns & risk. Here are phase-specific strategies:

The Inception - The Early Bird Gets The Worm

During the inception phase, users can stake blue-chip assets and partner protocol tokens to earn $SHIELD tokens and bootstrap the protocol & liquidity. This is how you can build your $SHIELD positions without much risk. The Inception Event is designed for high rewards, with low risk. User's can also add liquidity to SHIELD/SCUSD, and earn $SHIELD faster, while strengthening liquidity and building a foundation for the protocol.

Our Vision

In line with the vision here at Medieval finance, the safety and security of our community and finances are our top priorities. We are committed to maintaining full transparency and protecting everyone's investments.

Security Measures

• Strategic Partnerships: We work with some of the most respected and secure projects on the Sonic network, ensuring that Medieval Finance remains a part of a trustworthy and resilient ecosystem.

• Verified Contracts: All our contracts are fully verified and thoroughly tested before deployment.

  Contract launches and protocol updates are announced several hours or days in advance to ensure transparency and give the community ample time to prepare. Bug Bounties are offered to the community. More eyes the better.

• Upgradable Protocol Mechanisms:

While we take every measure to secure the protocol, users should also follow these best practices to keep their funds safe: Use secure wallets and never share your private keys. Always verify you are interacting with official Medieval Finance links. Stay notified by following our official announcements on our X and telegram.

*REMINDER: Security is a shared responsibility, and with these combined efforts, we aim to provide a secure and reliable experience for all participants in Medieval ecosystem*

Medieval is not your regular "Tomb Fork" with zero utility, we have "Big Brain" features that don't rely on seignorage alone and bring real revenue flowing into our Treasury and PNV. Most protocols fail because they are zero-sum and have no utility.

Peg Nobility Fund (PNV)

Peg Nobility Vault represents a Fee Monetization for $SHIELD to have real backing in $scUSD compared to similar models. A claim fee has been introduced (PAID IN $S) on the Camelot farms and is dynamic. This allows capital to flow into the Medieval PNV wallet, which in turn enables us to support $SHIELD peg on a much more stable level backed by $scUSD funneled back into the protocol. This fund will strictly be used for peg stability and backing. The goal is to have 100% backing 1:1 with $scUSD

Dynamic Colosseum Emissions

With sustainability and peg stability in mind, the expansion rate is dynamically adjusted. This ensures $SHIELD emissions are flexible and always vary. We will always adapt to current market conditions and the protocol's overall peg and health.

Arthur's Reserve (Treasury)

Medieval's goal is to bring maximum value to the Medieval Finance community. Our focus is on sustainability, security, and growth. The treasury is designed to be actively managed and invests in opportunities that align with the interests of the Medieval community. The treasury's goals are to increase the value of $SHIELD and $KNIGHT over time, providing long-term sustainability, and support the community. The treasury will utilize protocols in the Sonic ecosystem like SwapX, Rings, and ICHI with additional DeFI apps and opportunities. The Treasury is our war chest, and can be used for bribes, giveaways, marketing, integration listings, audits, etc.

Liquidity Rehypothecation

Medieval optimizes yield by strategically staking user-deposited LP token in SwapX farms through the treasury. While users earn $KNIGHT rewards from the Camelot farms, the protocol is simultaneously staking these LP tokens to generate additional earnings like $SWPx or trading fees.

This action enhances rewards, strengthens sustainability, and maximizes the efficiency of stakes assets.

Medieval Finance employs a two-token system to maintain $SHIELD's peg value, and to stabilize the protocol during market volatility. The two core tokens in the ecosystem are $SHIELD and $KNIGHT.

$SHIELD - The Protocol's Pegged Token

$SHIELD is the primary token of the Medieval protocol, designed to act as the legal tender, it's built-in stability mechanism aims to maintain a peg of $1.00 (1 $scUSD).

Primary Attributes

• Initial Mint: 25 $SHIELD will be minted upon contract creation for initial liquidity, and 525,000 $SHIELD were allocated for The Inception Event emissions.

• Peg Mechanism: $SHIELD is pegged to $scUSD through an algorithmic system, and is NOT COLLATERALIZED.

• Varied Volatility: Unlike traditional fiat-backed stablecoins, $SHIELD's price will be volatile, ranging above or below 1 $scUSD and based on market demand and supply mechanics.

Contract

*WARNING: Note that $SHIELD actively pegs via the algorithm and mechanism, and is only backed by the Peg Nobility Vault (PNV). It does not mean it will be valued at 1 $scUSD at all times as it is not collateralized. $SHIELD is not to be confused with a fiat-backed stablecoin. There are risks, and this is an experimental algorithmic token.*

$KNIGHT - Share & Governance Token

$KNIGHT represents governance & protocol ownership. It also acts as a share token that reflects confidence in the Medieval protocol's ability to maintain the peg of $SHIELD

Primary Attributes

• Bootstrapping Epoch: The initial epoch will run for 60 hours (10 epochs) at a 0.7% expansion rate, regardless of peg.

• Initial Mint: 30 $KNIGHT will be minted upon contract creation for initial liquidity, and 49970 $KNIGHT allocated towards liquidity rewards.

• Tokenomics: 49,970 $KNIGHT for liquidity rewards over 12 months linearly; 10000 $KNIGHT to the team also linearly over 12 months.

Total $KNIGHT Distribution

$KNIGHT has a maximum total supply of 60,000 tokens, strategically distributed over 12 months to balance growth, development, and community involvement:

• 49,970 $KNIGHT

• 10,000 $KNIGHT Shares allocated to developers, vested linearly over 12 months.

• 30 $KNIGHT Shares minted at contract creation for initial liquidity purposes.

This allocation ensures a healthy balance between incentivizing participants, supporting development efforts, and providing liquidity to the protocol

General Contracts

Liquidity Pools

The treasury is an integral part of the Medieval protocol, acting as the growth engine and security blanket for the protocol. It is designed to be actively managed and invested in opportunities that align with the interests of the community.

Treasury Strategies

• Protocol Investments: The treasury will invest in SwapX strategies and utilize their farming opportunities to generate yield and further grow the protocol’s value.

• Bribes: The treasury will use part of its war chest to bribe the Medieval protocol pools on SwapX

• Partnership Investments: The treasury will invest in the success of our partners and will fuel growth for everyone across the Sonic ecosystem.

• Community Engagement: The treasury will hold weekly giveaways and contests to keep excitement high and reward our most loyal community members. If we win, everyone wins.

• Security: As we grow and unleash new contracts, new features, and apps built on top of Medieval, audits will be needed as security is our number one priority

• Governance: As $KNIGHT holders, everyone can propose and vote on investment strategies, ensuring transparency and alignment with the community's vision.

Goals

By actively managing Arthur's Reserve, the Medieval treasury aims to:

• Facilitate Community Support: Ensuring we evolve and grow, every action we take will benefit everyone in the community. This is how you build a solid foundation, and install trust.

• Increase Protocol Value: Increase & strengthen the utility and value of $SHIELD and $KNIGHT over time.

• Provide Long-Term Sustainability: Use yield-generating opportunities to fund development and ecosystem growth.

Contract

This is the most integral piece of the Medieval protocol. Peg Nobility Vault represents a Fee Monetization for $SHIELD to have real backing in $scUSD compared to similar models. A claim fee has been introduced (PAID IN $S) on the Camelot farms and is dynamic. This allows capital to flow into the PNV wallet, which in turn enables us to support $SHIELD peg on a much more stable level backed by $scUSD funneled back into the protocol. This fund will strictly be used for peg stability and backing. The goal is to have 100% backing 1:1 with $scUSD.

• Users claiming $KNIGHT rewards in the Camelot farms will pay a fee (PNV claim fee) in $S, the fee will be immediately converted to $scUSD. At launch, the PNV fee will be 20% and will be dynamically adjusted according to market conditions. For example, a user has $100 in $KNIGHT to claim. To be able to claim, user will need to pay $20 (in $S) to claim their $100 in $KNIGHT.

• This fee reinforces peg stability and long-term ecosystem balance and sustainability. As the protocol grows and expands, and according to market conditions, the PNV fee will be dynamically changed. The goal is to completely remove this fee.

This section focuses on 3 major components:

• Official links for Medieval Finance (Socials, Sonicscan, URLs)

• Contracts related to Medieval Finance

• Security

Medieval optimizes yield by strategically staking user-deposited LP token in SwapX farms through the treasury. While users earn $KNIGHT rewards from the Camelot farms, the protocol is simultaneously staking these LP tokens to generate additional earnings like $SWPx or trading fees.

This action enhances rewards, strengthens sustainability, and maximizes the efficiency of stakes assets.

Users can maximize yields by staking user-provided LP tokens in SwapX through the treasury. Users earn $KNIGHT rewards while the protocol stakes the same LP tokens to earn on SwapX.

With sustainability and peg stability in mind, the expansion rate is dynamically adjusted. This ensures $SHIELD emissions are flexible and always vary. We will always adapt to current market conditions and the protocol's overall peg and health.

These dynamic expansions of $SHIELD emitted from the Colosseum ensure that emissions are flexible and adaptable. This also ensures that $SHIELD emissions from the Colosseum each epoch are backed by the Peg Nobility Vault, strengthening it's peg with $scUSD.

*DISCLAIMER: $SHIELD rewards not claimed in the boardroom after 48 hours are burned. This mechanism not only rewards $KNIGHT investors, but also helps stabilize the ecosystem by controlling the supply of $SHIELD and keeping $KNIGHT locked*
