Shift into Maya Protocol

Say goodbye to having to do multiple complex transactions, going to multiple interfaces, and hello to Shifts with ShapeShift.

Get Started

What is Maya Protocol

Maya Protocol is a decentralized, non-custodial liquidity and exchange protocol built on the Cosmos SDK that enables cross-chain swaps of native assets like BTC, ETH, and ATOM without wrapping, bridges, or custodians. It operates similarly to THORChain but features a permissionless validator set, no slashing, and uses its native token $CACAO for liquidity pairing, bonding, and incentives.

Trade on Maya Protocol with No KYC

One of the key benefits of Maya Protocol — and ShapeShift itself — is that you don’t need to create an account, upload an ID, or complete KYC to use it. Everything is onchain. Your wallet is your identity.

How Maya Protocol Enables Secure, Trustless Multichain Swaps

Maya Protocol is a cross-chain liquidity protocol, similar to THORChain. It enables native asset swaps between Layer 1 blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and THORChain — without wrapping or bridging.

It's easier with ShapeShift

OG DeFi Platforms

Maya Protocol’s native liquidity now lives inside ShapeShift, so you can fire off CACAO swaps directly in the dApp, import an existing Maya keystore (or generate one) with the ShapeShift DeFi Wallet, and even hook up Ctrl Wallet—which already speaks fluent Maya—for seamless cross-chain flow, making ShapeShift the slickest venue to trade and manage all things CACAO.
