ShapeShift adds decentralized native bitcoin trading through integration with THORChain

THORChain is a decentralised cross-chain liquidity protocol based on Tendermint & Cosmos-SDK and utilising Threshold Signature Schemes (TSS). It does not peg or wrap assets, it simply determines how to move them in response to user-actions...

ShapeShift adds decentralized native bitcoin trading through integration with THORChain

ShapeShift, a non-custodial cryptocurrency platform, today has announced their decentralized exchange mobile platform is now fully integrated with THORChain, enabling users for the first time to trade native (unwrapped) bitcoin with litecoin and ethereum. The capability is expected to be available on their web platform in the coming weeks.

THORChain solves the problem of cross-chain trading by building efficient, bi-directional bridges between blockchains at the protocol level in a permissionless, non-custodial manner. ShapeShift, which announced decentralized exchange trading for ETH and ERC-20 assets in January, has now expanded and will continue to grow the number of decentralized exchange (DEX) assets available for trade through this integration with the THORChain liquidity platform.

“We believe finance must be open and immutable.The THORChain team has built technology that brings these properties to the trading of bitcoin and other leading chains for the first time; we saw the power of this technology and wanted to bring it to our users immediately. This is a continuation of our commitment to offering users an easy, self-custody platform for their decentralized trading needs.”
– Erik Voorhees, Founder & CEO of ShapeShift

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency enthusiasts can participate more freely, securely, and privately in trading with other coins while expanding their options in the world of decentralized finance; using one user-friendly and incentivized platform. Furthermore, ShapeShift DEX users, including those making trades via the new THORChain integration, have extra inventive to use the exchange – with the ability to earn FOX tokens with every trade; which qualifies them for Rainfall awards (free USDC rewarded to random ShapeShift users each time someone trades on the platform).

THORChain, founded in 2018, is a community-led project dedicated to enabling the decentralized exchange of assets across blockchains in a non-custodial manner. “The team saw an opportunity to provide a ‘public good’ network that would solve a weak point in the cryptocurrency ecosystem: decentralized, cross-chain exchanging,” said THORChain’s lead engineer. Their team is largely pseudonymous, as is commonly seen in the industry for security, privacy, and project integrity reasons (as exemplified by Bitcoin’s founder, Satoshi Nakamoto).

The THORChain code is open-source and available on GitLab.
