### About Shield

Shield is an open source auditing initiative run by Emerald City, comprised of:

1. Smart Contracts - for projects to ensure code security and safety (*projects must pay for this*)
2. Transactions - to keep the community safe from malicious developers

**Shield is not only an auditing service, but a paid opportunity to give you advice (and often times direct Cadence help) on best practices, efficiency improvements, general suggestions, and more.**
