**ShapeShift** is a multichain, multipurpose app that allows you to bridge, trade and stake crypto and also buy blockchain-based stocks - and now you can use it with a direct Lattice1 integration.

Unlike MetaMask, Rabby, NuFi and other browser extension wallet apps we have integrations with, ShapeShift is a browser-based platform you open in a webpage, similar to [**MyCrypto**](https://docs.gridplus.io/apps-and-integrations/mycrypto) for example.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
ShapeShift also has a **mobile app** you can download and install on your device, but please note that version of the app does **NOT** have support for the Lattice as of now (there's no support for any hardware wallets on the mobile ShapeShift app).
{% endhint %}

Let's have a quick look at what the app offers and why you should consider checking it out.

### Features Overview <a href="#features-overview" id="features-overview"></a>

* **Multichain + Cosmos support**\
  Some chains available on ShapeShift are not available with the Lattice integration yet (Zcash for example), but the good news is that **you can now buy/sell assets on Cosmos!**
* **Trade** \
  This tab lets you perform simple trading operations with your crypto - **buy, sell, swap across multiple chains** - and you can also set up **limit orders** for trading when away.
* **Explore**

  Here you can see a list of all available digital assets on ShapeShift and under Markets, you can top assets sorted by daily volume, market cap and other metrics.
* **Earn**&#x20;

  This tab lets you access available **THORChain DeFi pools** ($RUNE pairs). To buy DeFi protocol coins on other chains, use the Trade tab.
* **Ecosystem** \
  Here you can participate in DAO governance of the ShapeShift project with its native $FOX token (ERC-20 based). You can also farm or stake the token on this tab.
* **WalletConnect**\
  You can connect ShapeShift to any existing 3rd party (or your own) app that supports WalletConnect and use the wallet imported on ShapeShift to sign any tx requests.
* And more. Explore the app!

### ShapeShift and Your Lattice <a href="#mycrypto-and-your-lattice" id="mycrypto-and-your-lattice"></a>

When you connect your Lattice to ShapeShift, you will allow the app to import addresses from your wallet, which you can then manage and use on the app. This does NOT mean that ShapeShift will have full access to your funds - you will only give it permission to see your wallet addresses and request signatures when there's something you need to sign, like a token swap for example.

You will only import your **addresses (public keys)** and create a communication channel between MyCrypto and your device, your **private keys** remain stored on the Lattice.

This means that all transaction requests have to be approved **on the Lattice screen**.
