Convert Shen SHEN to LORDS LORDS

## What are Reserve Coins? In simple terms, Reserve Coins are digital tokens that maintain the algorithmic peg of stablecoins. By trading Reserve Coins, users can contribute to the stablecoin mechanism by providing the appropriate liquidity to maintain a sufficient peg ratio. By utilizing a reserve, base fees can be charged, collected, and pooled for transactions facilitated by the underlying stablecoin. Reserve Coin 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. ## What is Shen (SHEN)? Continuing with the ancient Egyptian theme, we picked Shen as the name for Djed’s Reserve Coin. The Shen is a symbol of both royalty and symmetry. It has a deep connection with infinity, eternity, protection, and completeness given its circularity. During our brainstorming sessions, we found this name to convey the characteristics and properties of Djed’s Reserve Coin appropriately. By buying and selling Shen, users are able to maintain Djed’s USD currency peg while earning a share of transaction fees in the reserve pool. Since the Reserve Coin is a tradable asset, holders can also profit from the short-mid term price fluctuations as an added incentive. We look forward to providing more information as we approach the official launch.

## What is Realms World? Realms World is a fully onchain, open-source gaming ecosystem built on Starknet, a high-performance Ethereum Layer 2. At its core lies Eternum, a decentralized 4X MMO strategy game, and a growing constellation of interoperable games developed by aligned studios and independent grantees. The entire ecosystem is governed by Bibliotheca DAO, powered by Realm NFTs and the native token $LORDS. Every in-game economy, governance mechanism, and funding initiative flows through this DAO-governed, permissionless ecosystem. ## The $LORDS Token $LORDS is the native utility and incentive token of Realms World. It powers the in-game economies, governance, and staking infrastructure that hold the ecosystem together. **Utility Overview** 1. Gateway – $LORDS is used to access games, mint passes, purchase subscriptions, and more. 2. Denomination – It acts as the native currency across all games, DEX pools, and marketplaces. 3. Yield – Players can stake $LORDS to earn veLORDS, which unlock ecosystem-wide rewards. ## What is veLORDS? veLORDS (vote-escrowed LORDS) is a staking derivative earned by locking up $LORDS over time. It transforms passive holders into aligned participants with deeper rewards. **Yield Mechanics** - veLORDS holders earn a share of protocol and in-game fees generated across the Realms ecosystem. - As more games launch and generate onchain activity (e.g. minting, trading, entry fees), the veLORDS yield pool grows, resulting in naturally compounding APY over time. - Stakers are rewarded not just for holding, but for believing in the growth of the entire gaming ecosystem. ## Realm NFTs Realms (for Adventurers) NFTs are core governance assets that unlock unique utility: - DAO voting rights in Bibliotheca DAO - Free Eternum Season Passes (1 per Realm, per season) - Exclusive access to playtests, tournaments, and game launches - Tradable across Ethereum and Starknet (Realms.World, OpenSea, Element Market)
