Overview
Shuttle Labs builds software for digital assets. It started as a digital product studio and now leads the Genius project, a self-custodial digital asset trading platform. Genius lets users trade while keeping private keys under their control. It achieves this with multi-party computation (MPC) technology via Lit Protocol, creating a chain-invisible experience that avoids bridges and cross-chain gas fees. A proprietary liquidity-matching engine gathers liquidity from decentralized exchanges across eight blockchains, giving access to over 12 million tradable assets and enabling secure cross-chain trades in under five seconds. Unlike traditional exchanges that custody funds, Genius combines fast, cross-chain trading with strong user control and security. Shuttle Labs’ goal is to provide a seamless, secure trading experience that preserves user custody, while making complex blockchain data more accessible and usable for a broad audience.
