Greetings to the FoxFam and pass-by peers 🦊
It is known, that in 2017, ShapeShift announced its acquisition of the trusted cold wallet KeepKey. By pairing the KeepKey hardware wallet with ShapeShift, users have long been able to safely store their coins on a secure physical device while trading assets directly through ShapeShift. Since decentralizing into a DAO, ShapeShift spun KeepKey back into its own entity and has continued to work hand-in-hand with them.
Security has always been of critical importance when interfacing with assets on ShapeShift, and one of our priorities continues to be making our open source web platform experience as safe and frictionless for users as possible. Today, ShapeShift offers KeepKey users a tight integration with our new web platform and enhanced features and capabilities that enable the ShapeShift DAO to provide greater user support, ease of use, and security.
If you are curious about what in particular has changed in KeepKey Support at ShapeShift, check out our new Medium article.
