SHIFT, A Protocol Unlocking Equities-Backed Tokens in DeFi, Joins Chainlink Build
We’re excited to announce that SHIFT is officially joining the Chainlink Build program. As a part of Build, we aim to accelerate ecosystem growth and long-term adoption of equities-backed tokens by gaining enhanced access to Chainlink’s industry-leading oracle services and technical support, as well as incentivizing greater crypto economic security, in exchange for a commitment to provide network fees and other benefits to the Chainlink community and service providers, including stakers.
We’re confident that through enhanced support, secure off-chain services, and the backing of Chainlink’s community, we can accelerate awareness of SHIFT and realize the adoption of equities-backed tokens across all decentralized and centralized trading platforms.
SHIFT: Permissionless 24/7 Trading, Staking, Lending and Borrowing
SHIFT is bridging traditional finance and DeFi liquidity by bringing Wall Street on-chain through Asset-Referenced Tokens (“ARTokens”)—MiCAR-compliant digital assets, backed by Equities such as stocks, and ETFs. ARTokens enable frictionless DeFi-native distribution, providing TradFi institutions secure, compliant access to DeFi liquidity while introducing users 24/7, transparent, and cost-efficient trading. With planned listings on Aerodrome, Morpho, Orca, and Kamino, SHIFT enables anyone, anywhere to gain exposure to the global stock markets through a decentralized, permissionless ecosystem. By combining blockchain transparency and real-world asset exposure, SHIFT is unlocking the next phase of capital market accessibility.
Why We Joined Chainlink Build
SHIFT joined Build to maximize the benefits of security, transparency, interoperability and reliability that Chainlink infrastructure provides. As part of Build, SHIFT will receive key benefits, including access to and integration of Chainlink Proof of Reserve, access to new Chainlink product alpha and beta releases, among other benefits.
In exchange for these services, SHIFT will make a percentage of its native token supply available to Chainlink service providers, including stakers, over time. These mutually aligned economic incentives enable both communities to support one another.
“We’re excited to join Chainlink Build to supercharge our ecosystem and uplevel tokenized stocks, bonds and ETFs value, with high levels of trust and transparency. Chainlink Proof of Reserve, CCIP and support from the Chainlink community will significantly drive the adoption and reliability of SHIFT.”—Michael Bar-Zeev, co-founder of SHIFT
