# SideShift AI > Direct to Wallet Trading SideShift AI is a no-sign-up crypto exchange. It lets users swap directly between a wide range of cryptocurrencies without creating an account, with the exchanged coins sent straight to the user's own wallet. SideShift AI is a non-custodial cryptocurrency exchange that lets users swap between digital assets without creating an account. Users select an input and destination asset, provide a receiving wallet address, and send funds to a one-time deposit address generated for that trade, with the swapped assets sent directly to the user's own wallet and no ongoing balance held on the platform. The service offers both fixed-rate and variable-rate pricing for each swap, letting users choose predictable pricing or a rate tied to market movement at settlement. By generating a fresh deposit address for every trade rather than requiring an account or ongoing custody, it removes the sign-up and verification steps typical of centralized exchanges. The exchange's main product handles wallet-to-wallet swaps across a wide range of blockchains and assets. Its native token rewards holders who stake it with a share of platform revenue through an on-chain staking vault. SideShift AI is used by individual crypto holders as well as by third-party wallets and applications that embed its swap functionality for their own users. - Type: Company - Sector: Finance - Status: Active - Founded: 2018-11-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/SideShift_AI ## Products - [Side Shift Direct To Wallet Trading](https://thegrid.id/profiles/SideShift_AI): Side Shift Direct To Wallet Trading is a decentralized exchange that lets users swap between a wide range of cryptocurrencies without creating an account. Users provide a receiving wallet address and deposit funds to a one-time address generated for the trade, choosing between fixed and variable pricing. The swapped assets are sent directly to the user's wallet, with no persistent balance held on the platform. (Decentralised Exchange, Live, Main Product) - [SideShift Staking](https://thegrid.id/profiles/SideShift_AI): SideShift Staking is a liquid staking product that lets holders of the XAI token deposit it into a vault in exchange for svXAI, a receipt token representing their share of the pool. The vault runs on Ethereum using the ERC-4626 tokenized vault standard and distributes a share of SideShift.ai's daily platform revenue to stakers, compounding rewards into the svXAI exchange rate. Users can redeem svXAI for the underlying XAI plus accrued rewards at any time. (Liquid Staking, Inactive/Support Ended) ## Assets - [SideShift Token (XAI)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/SideShift_AI): XAI is the utility token of SideShift.ai, a no-signup cryptocurrency exchange platform. It is used for staking to receive a share of 25% of SideShift.ai's revenue, distributed daily, and can be earned through the platform's referral program where users receive rewards for inviting others. Staking uses the ERC-4626 standard, where stakers receive svXAI tokens representing their share in the SideShift staking vault, creating a direct link between token value and platform performance. (Utility) - [SideShift Staking Vault Token (svXAI)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/SideShift_AI): svXAI is a vault token representing staked XAI deposits in SideShift.ai's staking vault. It is used to claim a proportional share of the vault's underlying XAI balance, including revenue distributed to stakers. The vault uses the ERC-4626 standard so svXAI's exchange rate against XAI rises as rewards compound, rather than being paid out as separate transfers.
