After seven years of building a top crypto trading platform as a centralized entity, ShapeShift began a new journey, launching the ShapeShift DAO to create a borderless, self-custodial, multi-chain financial system built on open, decentralized protocols. We airdropped our governance token, FOX, to over one million past users and community members and started anew, with the goal of helping billions achieve financial sovereignty.

The first step in this journey was replacing the legacy, centralized versions of ShapeShift with new versions architected for decentralization. 

Send, receive, trade, buy and sell, and earn yield across a growing number of chains with the open-source ShapeShift web and mobile apps. The following chains are currently supported: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Avalanche, Cosmos, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Thorchain, Bitcoin Cash

Going forward, the community can add more chains, or even better, chains can now add themselves.

ShapeShift aggregates top DEX protocols from across chains into a single interface, enabling you to access the best rates across the highest number of pairs. 

0x, CowSwap, and THORChain are all currently supported. CowSwap aggregates 0x, 1inch, and Paraswap, which aggregate over 50 of the top DEXs on Ethereum. Osmosis and more DEXs are coming soon.

We've integrated 8 wallets into ShapeShift including ShapeShift Native Wallet, KeepKey, Metamask, Tallyho, Portis, XDefi, Keplr, and WalletConnect (which supports 170+ wallets).

Buy and sell over 50 digital assets across 10 chains with a wide variety of payment methods.

Banxa, Gem, Juno Pay, Mt. Pelerin, and Onramper are all currently supported, and Onramper aggregates Moonpay, Wyre, Xanpool, Mercuryo, Indacoin, Coinfy, BTCDirect, UTORG, and Transak.

We worked hard for just over a year, to get the new open-source ShapeShift, app.shapeshift.com to parity with all of the core functionality and features that users of beta.shapeshift.com and ShapeShift’s iOS and Android apps know and love. We're happy to say, we've achieved this goal—and then some!

Stake FOX, Cosmos, Osmosis or deposit into our integrations with Idle Finance and Thorchain Savers Vaults.

We’re excited to aggregate the best decentralized bridge protocols into a single interface and evolve our bridging functionality and UI/UX until it truly feels “invisible". First, users will be able to bridge assets between EVM chains and Cosmos zones. Then we’ll add bridging for more chains and expand to support arbitrary messages and contract calls with token transfers, enabling bridging and swapping with a single transaction, and more.

ShapeShift will provide the most comprehensive view of your portfolio organized in the most digestible way, including balances and DeFi positions across chains.

We plan to buidl the best UI/UX for lending and borrowing, while also aggregating multiple protocols. Users will easily be able to find the best rates available for the asset(s) they would like to supply and borrow.

We've covered the essentials: a grid of your NFTs in your wallet, the marketplaces to find and trade them. We've also given you a set as avatar button for your favorite PFP.

We're interested in integrating marketplace aggregators so users can buy and sell NFTs directly from within ShapeShift.

One day, ShapeShift will fulfill the majority of its vision: becoming the best-in-class, all-in-one decentralized, open-source, community-driven, and profitable crypto platform. The ultimate goal of this vision is to reward users with FOX tokens for their daily utility, including trading, staking, buying crypto, saving, bridging, and much more. These everyday actions generate positive margin revenue. The theory behind this is to convert the most active users into community members and expand the ecosystem of FOX in the process. The milestones in achieving this vision are to become profitable, develop bulletproof tools to track these actions reliably and provably, launch experimental validations of the hypothesis, and, if successful, scale the program with governance-controlled parameters. If you are developing a tool for monitoring & distributing daily use rewards without relying on subsidies, we would love to discuss with you.
