ShapeShift has integrated the Starknet Layer 2 network, allowing users to trade assets in a single transaction. This update eliminates the need for a separate bridging step, which previously required users to move assets before executing a swap.
The integration was announced by ShapeShift on October 16, 2026, with Starknet confirming the availability of the network on the platform the following day. The process involves technical configuration updates to handle routing behind the scenes.
Starknet is an Ethereum scaling solution based on zk-STARK technology. By joining the multichain aggregator, the network aims to improve interoperability and accessibility for users who previously relied on manual bridging.
ShapeShift, which has been active since 2014, recently released a free swap widget and API for developers in September 2026. This infrastructure allows third-party applications to potentially incorporate Starknet swaps into their own interfaces.
