# Conflict of interest policy

#### Aligning incentives with capital protection

In decentralized finance, conflicts of interest can arise in subtle ways.

Shift enforces strict internal standards to protect investor capital from misaligned incentives.

These include:

* No front-running of vault strategies by team members.
* No undisclosed personal exposure to tokens undergoing allocation.
* No acceptance of protocol incentives or “liquidity mining deals” that bias allocation decisions.
* No preferential strategy deployment benefiting insiders.

Strategy selection is based solely on structured risk-adjusted evaluation.

Team members are subject to internal compliance rules.
