🔧 Technical Documentation

This document provides deep technical analysis of SHELTR’s blockchain implementation, smart contract architecture, and security protocols. Designed for developers, blockchain engineers, and security auditors.

Executive Summary

SHELTR implements the world’s first dual-token charitable ecosystem on Base network, combining participant protection through SHELTR-S (stable token) with community governance via SHELTR (growth token). Our revolutionary architecture ensures 85% of donations reach participants as stable value, 10% funds housing solutions, and 5% supports the participant's registered shelter operations through smart contract-governed fund allocation.

Special Rule Implementation

If participant is not registered through a shelter, the 5% shelter allocation is automatically redirected to their individual housing fund account, ensuring 100% efficiency regardless of onboarding path.
