Shapeshift will have zero employees in the future

The Colorado-based ShapeShift announced today that its operations as a formal company would come to an end. According to Voorhees, currently employing 65 people, ShapeShift will have no employees, no bank accounts, or CEO somewhere between four and twelve months.

The company has airdropped 340 million FOX tokens to all past users of ShapeShift. These tokens are governance tokens. The majority of FOX Tokens are owned and controlled by hundreds of thousands of individuals worldwide because of the airdrop. Token holders will have the ability to direct the future of the product and brand by voting on and submitting proposals. 

How are you eligible for the airdrop?

There are many ways users were and are still able to get an airdrop. You can find all the information on ShapeShift's blog. Airdrops have to be claimed within 90 days. 

 Besides users of Shapeshift, users of lots of different DeFi protocols, including Gitcoin, Thorchain, Uniswap, Yearn, and several others, will be able to claim an airdrop of the FOX tokens. The company will also initiate liquidity mining for the FOX Token 48 hours after the airdrop.

What kind of company is Shapeshift? 

Right now, Voorhees says, there is no term to describe Shapeshift. The company has changed a lot in the past years. It has evolved from an anonymous place to trade crypto to a control panel that allows crypto users to monitor their positions and conducts economic activity across multiple blockchains. "We're essentially a crypto interface," Voorhees said, and it's built to integrate with any wallet, app, blockchain, or primitive entrepreneurs want to develop.

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.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
