About

ShapeShift is a decentralized, non-custodial cryptocurrency trading platform that allows users to swap digital assets straight from their own wallets. There is no need to hand over control of funds since everything stays with the user. Founded in 2014 by Erik Voorhees, ShapeShift first started as a centralized exchange. In 2021, it made a major move by becoming a fully decentralized autonomous organization run by its community through the FOX token. Key Features: • ShapeShift enables users to swap crypto across multiple blockchains smoothly, without any centralized custody involved. • It supports full self-custody trading, so user funds always stay in their own wallets. • With DAO governance and the FOX token, users can vote on proposals and take part in platform decisions. • It pulls liquidity from THORChain, 0x, and CoW Protocol to help deliver better trade execution. • Also supports Zcash shielded privacy transactions for secure and confidential crypto transfers.
