# SkipShift > Skip the questions. Shift control. SkipShift is a decentralized peer-to-peer protocol for exchanging fiat currency and cryptocurrency. It lets users convert between the two without identity verification or registration. SkipShift is a decentralized peer-to-peer protocol that lets users convert between fiat currency and cryptocurrency without identity verification. Trades are coordinated through smart contracts and encrypted communications, connecting users directly with independent liquidity providers. It is aimed at individuals who want to move funds on or off chain without registration or identity checks. The protocol addresses the friction of conventional on ramp and off ramp services, which typically require identity documents and account approval before a transaction can proceed. Liquidity providers instead post collateral to guarantee trade fulfillment, and orders are routed to available providers based on payment method, price, and region. Settlement details are exchanged directly between counterparties only after a trade is accepted, with no custodial holding of funds at any point. SkipShift supports a wide range of payment methods, both global and regional, and a broad set of cryptocurrencies, operating across multiple blockchain networks. Liquidity providers apply to join the network, set their own trading ranges and availability, and earn a spread for fulfilling orders. The protocol serves individuals seeking privacy focused currency conversion as well as providers looking to generate returns through market making. - Type: Protocol - Sector: DeFi - Status: Active - Founded: 2021-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/skipshift ## Products - [SkipShift Protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/skipshift): SkipShift Protocol is a peer-to-peer on and off-ramp that enables fiat-to-cryptocurrency conversions without KYC verification.
