Introduction
Who we are
Shift DeFi is a fully decentralized platform offering seamless access to DeFi investing, underpinned by an institutional-grade risk framework. We provide secure exposure to on-chain yield with built-in risk management.
We — the founders of Shift DeFi — come from institutional finance. With over a decade of experience in asset management, portfolio construction, and risk modeling, we’ve channeled our expertise into building Shift DeFi from the ground up. Before Shift DeFi, we developed and scaled earlier DeFi asset management products, which gave us hands-on experience in running portfolios, executing strategies, and designing risk controls directly on-chain. That track record is now the foundation of Shift DeFi.
Our team sits at the intersection of crypto-native innovation and institutional discipline. That discipline isn’t just a mindset — it’s the foundation of how Shift operates. Every process, from research to execution, is guided by clear internal procedures and policies that ensure consistency, accountability, and control. On top of this framework, our analysts and engineers have built proprietary tools for market research, risk monitoring, and portfolio management — enabling informed diversification and dynamic strategy adjustment.
What we do
Our mission is to make DeFi investing as safe and structured as traditional finance, without giving up the yield potential that makes DeFi powerful. To do this, we built a full-stack risk management system from scratch: covering in-depth risk analysis, smart contract audits, 24/7 monitoring, trigger-based exits, and automated rebalancing. No existing solution met our standards — so we created our own.
This self-built infrastructure helps us stay ahead of threats while continuing to optimize yield for users.
Our principles:
Transparency. Every step of our risk process is logged in a custom back-office system. Every analysis, decision, and portfolio move is traceable and auditable — internally and externally.
Innovation. Shift’s entire infrastructure is purpose-built. Our proprietary, cross-chain tech stack collects real-time blockchain data and executes transactions with speed and precision.
Security. A multi-layer defense model combines rigorous due diligence, real-time monitoring, and automated emergency exits — protecting client funds from both economic and technical risks.
These principles drive every Shift product: visible, robust, and laser-focused on protecting capital.
Shift DeFi is a fully in-house, cross-chain platform that collects real-time data from multiple blockchains, processes it through our proprietary off-chain engine, and executes transactions on-chain in seconds when risk thresholds are breached.
By automating yield strategies, risk control, and cross-chain asset management, Shift opens DeFi to both institutional and individual investors: no technical background required.
Why use Shift DeFi?
Most DeFi investors want solutions that are secure, intuitive, and data-driven. Shift DeFi delivers exactly that — by taking care of the hardest parts of DeFi investing, end to end.
Research and analysis done for you
Our team of analysts and engineers does the deep dive on every protocol, token, and strategy. We evaluate risks, incentives, liquidity, and code — so you don’t have to spend hours sorting through whitepapers, audits, and dashboards.
Diversified portfolios by design
Strategies aren’t picked one by one. Instead, Shift builds complete portfolios that spread exposure across assets, protocols, and chains — reducing dependency on any single point of failure.
Seamless execution through smart contracts
Once strategies are approved, they’re executed via audited smart contracts. That means no manual bridging, no chasing pools, and no juggling multiple wallets or gas payments.
Real-time risk monitoring and protection
Our block-by-block trigger system tracks liquidity shifts, oracle feeds, and governance actions across every approved protocol. If a critical threat is detected, Shift initiates an on-chain exit within a few blocks — minimizing the window for potential losses.
Automated portfolio management
Vaults continuously rebalance to stay within their target risk bands. Allocation limits and daily adjustments optimize exposure across protocols and yield opportunities — keeping your portfolio aligned without manual intervention.
With Shift DeFi, you don’t just save time and avoid stress — you get research-backed, diversified, and risk-managed portfolios that run automatically on-chain, scaling with you as opportunities evolve.
