Your privacy is important to us. That is why we only ask for the amount of information that we need. In order to best protect your privacy, we have three ways to use our platform: without an account, with a basic account, or with a verified account.
No Account
Without an account, you can:
- View your dashboard.
- Send crypto.
- Receive crypto.
- Make informed decisions regarding your crypto.
This type of use is perfect for someone that doesn't plan on trading or buying/selling crypto using ShapeShift.
Basic Account
A basic account will allow you to do everything you can do without an account, plus track your portfolio. For clarity, you can:
- Track your portfolio.
- View your dashboard.
- Send crypto.
- Receive crypto.
- Make informed decisions regarding your crypto.
A basic account will only require you to provide:
- Your email address.
- A password.
Your dashboard may encourage you to verify your account, but you don't have to verify if you do not wish to do so.
Verified Account
A verified account will allow you to do a little more with the ShapeShift Platform. If you choose to verify your account, you will be able to:
- Trade crypto.
- Buy/sell crypto for fiat via Banxa (if you are a U.S. user).
- Track your portfolio.
- View your dashboard.
- Send crypto.
- Receive crypto.
- Make informed decisions regarding your crypto.
If you decide to get a verified account, you will need to provide us with:
- An email address.
- A password.
- Select personal details.
Once you submit your information, you can be verified within minutes! If you have any trouble verifying your account, please chat with our Support Team.
