About Shake Defi
Shake Defi – Safe Crypto Payments With Smart-Contract Escrow
Shake Defi makes cryptocurrency usable in the real world by giving buyers and sellers a safe, simple, and secure way to transact
Whether you're buying a car, hiring a contractor, or paying for goods and services, Shake Defi protects both parties with an automated escrow that runs on the blockchain.
Traditional escrows are expensive, slow, and require banks or certified intermediaries
Shake Defi replaces all of that with a smart contract – an autonomous program that holds funds, enforces the rules, and ensures fair outcomes
No banks, no middlemen, no business hours
Just instant settlement and real buyer protection.
How It Works
Buyer and seller agree on an escrow duration (0–180 days)
Funds are locked in a smart contract on the Ethereum Base network
The seller delivers the product or service
After the escrow period ends, the seller collects payment via the app
If there's an issue, the buyer can open a dispute and request a refund
Or, the seller may issue a refund outside of a dispute
If approved, the smart contract automatically returns funds to the buyer
Easy Crypto Payments – Even If You're New to Crypto
Shake Defi is designed to feel as safe and familiar as a credit card payment – without high fees or chargeback fraud.
You can transact using stablecoins like USDC or native ETH, depending on your needs.
If you don't already own crypto, Shake Defi lets you buy and sell it directly inside the app:
Buy crypto (Onramp): Purchase USDC or ETH using a bank account or debit card
Sell crypto (Offramp): Convert crypto back to U.S. dollars and withdraw to your bank
All crypto buying and selling services are provided by Coinbase, a trusted, regulated U.S.-based financial platform
Shake Defi never processes or stores your fiat money – Coinbase securely handles these transactions.
Please note: Coinbase Onramp and Offramp functionality is not available in all countries
Availability may vary based on your location.
