If you have been following along in ShapeShift’s very robust and windy history, you will remember a point where the ethos of the company was forced into regulatory turmoil with the addition of KYC (Know Your Customer).

Employees and users alike were disheartened with this and ShapeShift went through a rough period.

In a true cunning fox fashion, ShapeShift continued on and shapeshifted over the years to flow with the regulatory demands of their time while working to maintain their innovative roots.

In the final piece of this 10 FOX logo themed pieces, the most recent logo is set free from the chasm of regulatory demands and the naturally occurring limits of a centralized company. Here the FOX is released to the ethers, to the stars, to the Universe and beyond to live freely and just like star dust expand into all that is and will be with the future of Defi and the ShapeShift DAO.

As Erik so beautifully states, “But why should we, an established and well-funded for-profit corporation, consider such a model?

Simple: centralization has become a liability against the realization of our vision.”

Be free young FOX friend, we are all excitedly watching as you shapeshift into this next evolution and as we all grow, become FOX friends and have the opportunity to contribute in ways that feels amazing to each individual, the ShapeShift DAO is born.
