Shapeshift

[ShapeShift](https://shapeshift.com) is a borderless, self-sovereign, cross-chain crypto trading platform and portfolio manager. The platform enables users to buy, sell, track, trade, and earn with 10,000+ assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Doge, THORCHain, and Cosmos across 15+ chains via mobile or web. Users can connect with over 150+ software or hardware wallets, including ShapeShift, MetaMask, WalletConnect, KeepKey, and Ledger. MetaMask users can install the [ShapeShift Multichain Snap](shapeshift.com/snap) to add support for Bitcoin, Doge, THORChain, Cosmos, and more. ShapeShift is a 100% self-custody platform, meaning users always control their keys. ShapeShift does not collect personally information and stands on the pillars of decentralization, privacy, and self-custody. The project’s governance and utility token, FOX, makes trading more competitively priced than going directly to DEXs through ShapeShift's bespoke aggregation. ShapeShift was founded in 2014 as a privately held company based in Switzerland. However, in June 2021, the organization announced that it was becoming a fully decentralized project, open-sourcing all of its source code and turning ownership and governance over to the [community of FOX Token holders](https://shapeshift.com/fox/governance). It’s founder, Bitcoin pioneer Erik Voorhees, stated this decentralized model “is the only way to maintain user sovereignty.”
