Proposal for listing fox on compound

Summary: Listing FOX token on Compound

Hello COMP family,

We are the ShapeShift team and would like to propose the listing of our token FOX, on

COMPOUND’s platform. We believe having FOX on Compound would open up several

exciting opportunities for both ShapeShift and Compound.

ShapeShift presence on Compound would provide an opportunity to earn additional fees as

FOX holders would be able to come to Compound to collateralize their assets and increase

platform liquidity.

The reason ShapeShift presence on Compound will attract more users to the platform is

because ShapeShift is a new opportunity. Unlike centralized custodians that hold your

funds, with ShapeShift you’re always in control of your crypto. Instantly trade crypto in

platform. No added fees. 1000s of trade pairs. Plus get FOX back on every trade. First of its

kind cross-chain swaps powered by 0x and THORChain.

Over the years, ShapeShift has established a strong and loyal community and who would

love to be able to use the Compound platform to collateralize their assets.

The Evolution of ShapeShift

Since our formation in 2014, our purpose has been to empower the digital asset market in

alignment with the ethos of financial sovereignty.

Seven years ago, we pioneered frictionless crypto trading with no user accounts, and no

custody of user funds.

In 2017, we acquired KeepKey to bring easy cold-storage to our users.

In 2018, we built a full self-custody crypto interface that incorporated KeepKey, Ledger, and

Trezor hardware wallets with integrated trading functionality across chains.

In 2019, we removed all commissions for holders of the FOX Token.

In 2020, we acquired Portis to further engage with the burgeoning web3 dapp ecosystem

and released ShapeShift’s self-custody mobile app.

And by late 2020, we began integrating decentralized protocols directly into the ShapeShift

crypto platform to enable immutable, borderless trading with no intermediary, removing

ourselves—and our prior business model—from the process.

This evolution enabled us to return protection and dignity to our users, ending KYC and

other intrusive financial surveillance practices. ShapeShift will never be a bank. The end

goal has been and remains: a world where people are empowered to manage their own

financial futures, without sacrificing their privacy and control to governmental and

middlemen entities. A world where users can participate in and explore new voluntary forms

of financial innovation.

Fast and private, with no account or KYC required.

FOX utility Perpetual Utility — Hodl FOX, Earn Crypto

FOX has always been a “Perpetual Utility” token—they provide benefits as long as you hodl

them in your wallet. You do not need to spend your tokens to derive their benefits.

Here is the non-governance benefits that exists today:

Rainfall

Rainfall rewards FOX hodlers with free crypto when people trade on ShapeShift. The more

FOX you hold, the better your chances of winning a Rainfall reward.

For every qualifying transaction on ShapeShift, the following benefits are realized:

The user who makes a crypto trade earns more FOX Tokens;

Another random FOX holder earns free USDC;

Revenue generated for ShapeShift (if any) through that transaction goes to the ShapeShift

DAO.

FOX Fuel: Reimbursement for Gas Fees

Gas fees can get expensive!

FOX Tokens help you offset these costs. 10% of the current market value of your FOX

Tokens, as determined by CoinCap.io at the time of trade, can be repaid to you every 30

days in additional FOX Tokens to help reimburse you for gas costs on trades. With enough

FOX Tokens, this can potentially cover all of one’s gas costs on trades.

FOX Liquidity Mining Is Here

The initial round of FOX liquidity mining will begin at 9:00 a.m. MT, Friday, July 16, 2021.

FOX Token holders that provide liquidity to the FOX/ETH pool on Uniswap V2 and stake

their FOX-ETH-UNI-LP token in the ShapeShift Staking Rewards contract may earn a

proportional share of 15,768,000 FOX Tokens over the following three months. Thereafter,

governance will decide whether or not to continue or change the program.

The Largest Airdrop in History—Over 1M Recipients

FOX has been airdropped to the largest number of eligible recipients in crypto history.

There are now more than 1 million potential FOX holders who can choose to claim tokens.

This makes FOX Tokens one of the most widely distributed tokens in history. ShapeShift

has never sold these tokens; there was no ICO.

FOX Superpower: Governance

The FOX Token has always been our way of giving extra utility to those who support the

ShapeShift platform and community (starting with no trading fees in 2019). Now, FOX is

becoming the entire control and ownership structure of the project.

Summary: Listing FOX token on Compound
Hello COMP family,

We are the ShapeShift team and would like to propose the listing of our token Shapeshift

FOX Token(FOX ticker), on COMPOUND’s platform.

FOX is the governance token of the ShapeShift DAO, the 11th largest DAO by treasury

value with over $200M of assets. ShapeShift offers an open-source interface to a growing

number of DeFi protocols on multiple blockchains and has processed >$6B in cumulative

trading volume.

FOX Smart Contract Risk:

FOX Token was launched in November 2019 as a utility token enabling free trading. On

July 14, 2021, FOX became the governance token for the ShapeShift DAO. The token

contract was built with OpenZeppelin templates and has been audited by

BlockchainLabs.nz.

FOX Counterparty Risk:

The ShapeShift DAO operates as a progressively decentralising organization with

community proposals and votes. The ShapeShift DAO is powered by SafeSnap (SnapShot

Gnosis Safe), which means community members can propose and vote on proposals with

zero gas fees, and the result of those votes can trigger on-chain transactions. Initially, a
multisig safeguard controlled by ShapeShift employees has been implemented alongside
SafeSnap to mitigate the risk of a malicious proposal stealing funds from the DAO’s
treasury. This is intended as a temporary protective measure. Verification of the identities
and integrity of the ShapeShift employees comprising the multisig keys can be provided to
security researchers upon request.
FOX Market Risk:
ShapeShift is one of the oldest, most reputable brands in crypto. Over the past 7 years, the
team has demonstrated their ability to adapt to the changing landscape. In the
organization's new decentralized form, it’s well poised to achieve its vision as the pathway
to the borderless financial system: an open-source, multi-chain, self-custody crypto platform
enabling billions to achieve financial sovereignty. The token is available on top exchanges
with nearly $75M market capitalization and averages over $2.5M in daily volume.
The ShapeShift DAO is funded by revenues generated from a variety of streams, including
user activity, validator commissions, and yield generated from treasury balances.
Fox ATL/ATH: 0.2516$(29.09.2021)/1.6738$(04.07.2021)
Changes:
Last30d: 0.6216 → 0.4165 (-49.24%)
Last60d: 0.688 → 0.4165 (-65.19%)
Last90d: 0.2956 → 0.4165 (+29.03%)
The volatility of the token is characteristic of the mood of the crypto market and correlates
accordingly with the general trends in the market
