A problem that most projects encounter is market control and manipulation by large holders or "whales". Generally, these large token holders can have too much control and can have a big impact on market movements.

To combat this problem, we have implemented a transaction monitoring system that limits the number of PROTO tokens that can be transferred in a single transaction.

**Current ProtoShield Transaction Limit:** enabled at 5% of circulating PROTO supply.

* If enabled, ProtoShield's protection will affect all transactions.
* Limit on the amount of PROTO tokens that can be transferred is configurable by ProtoFi.
* Any decision to enable/disable this feature, the community will be notified in advance.
