From $500 and a Government Phone to the Future of NFT Security — Introducing Lucid Shield™
The Californer/10310031

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Californer -- BUILT WITH $500 AND A GOVERNMENT PHONE — LUCID SHIELD™ EMERGES AS THE FUTURE OF NFT SECURITY

Richard Anthony Amaya, a world-traveled model, music producer, and creative visionary, has launched Lucid Shield™, a decentralized NFT security protocol that's already being called the "industry standard of the future."

What's different?
It wasn't backed by VCs. It wasn't built in Silicon Valley. It was created by one man — with less than $500 and a government-issued phone.

• Lucid Shield™ delivers real solutions to real problems:

Automated royalty enforcement

• Metadata watermarking
• Fraud prevention and smart alerts
• NFT licensing + transfer notifications
• All built directly on the blockchain.

"I built this protocol to protect the creators they forgot," says Amaya. "The ones who get their beats stolen. Their art ripped. Their royalties erased. I've been there. This is my answer to that."
