ShapeShift is a non-custodial cryptocurrency trading service. They announced on July 15 that its existence as a traditional company is coming to an end. This would happen through the dissolution of its corporate structure and the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) will maintain its services. The project governance happens through the recently airdropped tokens to ShapeShift users, claimed by the company to be the largest airdrop ever.
These FOX tokens will be the governance token of the ShapeShift protocol now and the team has tried to widely distribute the token to its 1 million users plus other DeFi protocols participants. The FOX token now has increased governance and control powers. They also announced that the entire project is open source in the coming future.
