London, March 3, 2026: ShapeShift, one of the longest-serving community-led decentralised anti-KYC trading platforms, today announces the launch of Earn, powered by the Yield.xyz API. The integration enables ShapeShift users to access a broad range of on-chain yield opportunities while maintaining full self-custody and without compromising on anti-KYC principles.
The new Earn experience allows users to deploy assets productively across staking, liquid staking, restaking, lending, and vault-based strategies directly from their own wallets. At launch, Earn supports yield opportunities across major protocols including Lido, Morpho, Aave, Compound, Gearbox, Venus, Fluid, and Kamino, spanning Ethereum, Solana and key Layer 2 networks.
Unlike custodial yield platforms that require account creation or identity verification, ShapeShift’s Earn feature preserves its core anti-KYC philosophy: users keep their keys, and assets remain under their control at all times.
The integration is powered by the Yield.xyz API, which aggregates and standardises on-chain yield strategies across multiple networks and protocols. By leveraging Yield.xyz as its infrastructure layer, ShapeShift is able to surface diverse yield opportunities through a single interface without requiring users to navigate fragmented applications or custody models.
The launch also expands yield optionality for Bitcoin holders, enabling BTC-aligned strategies within a broader multichain framework. As liquidity and capital increasingly fragment across ecosystems, ShapeShift’s approach consolidates access while avoiding centralised risk.
The Earn section is now live inside the ShapeShift application, with additional protocol and network expansions planned throughout 2026 as both teams continue to prioritise capital efficiency, transparency, and user control.
ShapeShift Product Lead Tim Black said: “Yield should not require surrendering control. With ShapeShift Earn, users can access staking and DeFi opportunities across networks while remaining fully self-custodial. This is about giving people productive utility for their assets without asking them to open accounts or hand over identity documents.”
Serafin Lion Engel, Co-founder and CEO at Yield.xyz, added: “Our goal with Yield.xyz is to make on-chain yield accessible through clean, reliable infrastructure. By powering ShapeShift’s Earn experience, we’re abstracting away protocol and network complexity while giving users access to a wide range of staking and DeFi yield opportunities across ecosystems.”
