It’s been 9 Months since ShapeShift officially made the move to decentralize its organization, but what is it like to make this transition? Well, on this episode, Steve is joined by Jon ShapeShift to discuss all it took to transform Shapeshift into a globally distributed DAO and shed some light on some breaking news from the DAO - that it’s closed a capital raise led by Coinbase Ventures via the launch of a Success Token. But what is a Success Token and how can it empower a DAO? There’s only one way to find out… so buckle up, turn up the volume, and let’s get Crypto Current!
Jon ShapeShift was Chief Operations Officer, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of ShapeShift - an international, non-custodial cryptocurrency leader - and is currently involved with the smooth operations of the ShapeShift DAO. Prior to ShapeShift's transformation into a DAO, Jon was responsible for driving product strategy, leading product development teams and efforts, and designing solutions that integrate the changing landscape of crypto, decentralized finance, and macroeconomics in general. He has nearly 20 years of experience in web application design and development, and has been involved in the founding and pioneering of online gaming and cryptocurrency platform companies, helping to propel ShapeShift to being one of the most internationally recognized crypto brands in the industry.
