# Overview

RiskShield started as initiative to establish a decentralized protocol that safeguards blockchain users' activities through cover protection. Inspired by early pioneers of DeFi platforms and their product designs,  RiskShield came up with a portfolio-based approach that maximizes value for its end-users. While existing protocols build their foundations based on capital adequacy and consolidation, RiskShield advocates the practice of freeing up limitations through crypto security to help users realize better capital utilization.
