What is The Button

"The Button" is a feature that simplifies entry into a new economy (Shade's ecosystem) by allowing users to buy $SHD with zero slippage and zero trading fees, while also providing access to exclusive support and community resources.

The following are supported assets of The Button:

  • USDC.nbl

  • USDC.axl

  • wETH.axl

  • ATOM

  • SCRT

How to Buy $SHD in under 30 seconds

1️⃣ On the Shade App, click .

2️⃣ At the top of the page click 'The Button'

3️⃣ Select the asset in the 'from' drop down

4️⃣ Enter the amount ($5000 USD minimum)

5️⃣ Click "HIT THE BUTTON" and approve the transaction

🎉 Congratulations, you now own *$SHD tokens (without paying for slippage and trading fees) and will be invited to an exclusive Telegram community.

*SHD tokens can be claimed after 24 hours.


How does The Button work

After a user presses The Button, the protocol re-routes the deposited purchase amount and buys SHD on ShadeSwap, ensuring that direct buy pressure is applied to SHD. The Button is a powerful feature that ensures that large buyers of SHD can enter without paying large amounts on slippage and trading fees.

What's the catch?

Here’s the catch: The Button can only be pushed a limited number of times! For example, at the launch of The Button there was only 20k SHD available for purchase for each of the supported assets. That’s a limited amount of slippage-free liquidity.

The Button is replenished often and shouldn't be missed out on.


If you're new to our app, check out our for additional tutorials to help you get familiar with the Shade app and become a pro user. We have videos that will walk you through all the features step-by-step.
