Shell Protocol
Shell Protocol is a DeFi super dapp on Arbitrum for bridging, swapping, and providing liquidity in one place.
What is Shell Protocol?
Shell Protocol, founded in 2019 by the Cowri Labs team, is a DeFi protocol on Arbitrum that lets users bridge, swap, and provide liquidity in one transaction. Positioned as the first DeFi super dapp, Shell enables users to explore protocols, compare yields, and discover opportunities without leaving the dapp. Besides its user-facing dapp, Shell Protocol has an open-source SDK for developers to build complex apps. Projects can connect their protocol to Shell with one integration and gain native composability with other major DeFi protocols like Curve, Balancer, and Uniswap. Shell Protocol governance is powered by veSHELL holders through the Shell DAO.
