3
Complete the transaction
The seller delivers the goods or services while the payment remains locked according to the agreed escrow terms.
4
Release the payment
When the applicable escrow period and release conditions are satisfied, the payment is released to the seller according to the smart contract rules.
5
Dispute when necessary
If a transaction does not go as agreed, the arbiter reviews the evidence to help resolve the dispute.
Non-Custodial by Design
Smart-Contract Escrow
Shake does not take custody of escrowed customer funds.
Your payment is held in a smart contract and released according to the agreed escrow terms. Shake DeFi never takes custody of your funds.
You use your connected wallet to authorize transactions.
Use the Cryptocurrency You Already Have
Shake supports USDC and USDT, along with ETH, TON, and other supported cryptocurrencies.
The seller can specify the cryptocurrency they want to receive. Where supported, buyers can use integrated currency-swapping functionality to convert another supported cryptocurrency into the required payment currency.
Shake is designed around cryptocurrency payments, but you do not need investment expertise to understand the basic transaction process: agree on terms, fund the escrow, complete the transaction, and release the payment according to those terms.
Directly Supported:
USDCUSDTETHTON Currency Swapping
Optional Fiat Conversion

You can use Coinbase to purchase supported cryptocurrency using available payment methods or convert cryptocurrency back to fiat.
Shake does not hold your fiat money or operate the Coinbase conversion service. Coinbase availability, supported assets, payment methods, and fees vary by country.
