You’re Doing it Wrong – ShapeShift Stories

Now hear us out. We know cold storage has never been sexy. It’s difficult to use, clunky and has very limited functionality.

That’s why we’re taking matters into our own hands.

Presenting a Better, Safer, & New Alternative

For the first time, hardware security meets a crypto toolkit coupled with a sexy interface. And damn, it’s a match made in heaven. With the new ShapeShift Platform, your private keys remain entirely offline and in your control — buying, selling, and hodling have never been easier.

It’s time cold storage is both approachable and accessible. Plug in your KeepKey or Trezor (Ledger coming soon) and see just how far hardware wallets have come.

Go Non-Custodial (even though it’s a lame word)

Exchanges that hold your funds are not safe. It’ll never happen to me… said literally everyone that anything bad has ever happened to.

If you’re reading this, you’re likely aware of the inherent risks associated with keeping your crypto on an exchange. Exchanges are convenient and have the most functionality, so some will still risk it, anyway.

But we’re not here to lecture you. We’re here to give you the better option.

Without sacrificing control, you can easily trade one crypto for any of the 50+ assets we support — directly in the platform. Financial sovereignty is at the center of our ethos, and we’re doing everything possible to put the power in your hands.

Need more crypto? Use your bank account to buy crypto through our platform and have it automatically deposited onto your hardware device, ensuring it’s secured every step of the way.

Securely Track Your Portfolio — Anywhere

Mobile friendly wallets are popular because of our extreme ::cough:: unhealthy ::cough:: dependency on staying connected. It’s no surprise that so many people are forgoing security best practices for this convenience.

Don’t worry — we’ve got that covered too. Track your portfolio performance in real time without exposing your funds or plugging in your hardware wallet. With a web-based interface, you’re able to check your balances anywhere you have internet.

And with real-time market data constantly updating, you can be confident your portfolio is accurate.

If your security is lacking, it’s time to do something about it. We’ve outlined three of the most important changes you can make to protect your crypto: offline key management, noncustodial trading, and portfolio tracking that’s unconnected to your funds.

Stop enabling hackers and start stonewalling them with the ShapeShift Platform. We’ve combined security, control, and ease-of-use into one beautiful interface.
