The investment was made in FOX Success Tokens

Venture firms Coinbase Ventures and Chapter One have invested in ShapeShift's governance token FOX through ShapeShift's recently minted FOX Success Tokens. A solution developed by UMA that enables DAOs to raise funds from long-term strategic investors. Success Tokens allow investors to earn more tokens when a specific goal is achieved. A total of 1,764,482.25 Fox Success Tokens were sold to investors and the vesting period for Success Tokens ends on March 1, 2024.
“We’re excited to back ShapeShift as an investment in a pre-existing DAO pioneering the decentralized, non-custodial cryptocurrency market,” said Menelaos Mazarakis, investor and head of product, Chapter One.
The strike price for the Fox Success Token is $0.8 FOX /USD, and each Success Token is backed by 2 FOX . If FOX is worth less than $0.8 at expiration, each Success Token is worth only 1 FOX, but if it is worth more than $0.8, each Success Token is worth 1 FOX + (expiry FOX/USD price - 0.8)/expiry price. Success Tokens uses UMA's Optimistic Oracle, which provides DAO treasury management the tools and flexibility to query and rely on accurate data.

What is ShapeShift?

ShapeShift was a centralized cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2014 by Erik Voorhees. However, in July, ShapeShift transformed into a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and distributed FOX tokens to over 900,000 users to incentivize participation in governance.

The platform offers users the ability to interact with digital assets across multiple chains to track, trade, and earn returns through a dashboard. Since its relaunch as DAO, ShapeShift has announced a growing number of DeFi opportunities for FOX Token holders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
