ShapeShift has launched FOX Wif Hat (FWH), a new memecoin on the Base network that offers more than just speculative hype. This token, introduced on February 12, 2025, comes with actual trading perks, giving holders discounts on the ShapeShift platform.Users who hold at least 10,000 FWH tokens will initially enjoy a 100% discount on trading fees. However, this benefit isn’t permanent. The discount gradually reduces over 90 days, eventually reaching zero by May 4, 2025. More than 31,000 crypto wallets are eligible to claim at least 10,000 FWH tokens, widening access to this utility-driven memecoin.
The launch was followed by an X Spaces event on February 13, where ShapeShift’s team outlined the vision behind the token, its tokenomics, and future roadmap. The crypto community has been buzzing about the move, calling it a fresh spin on the memecoin trend by linking humor with actual functionality.
ShapeShift is no stranger to token experiments. The company previously launched the FOX token and took the ambitious step of decentralizing its operations, handing governance to token holders. FWH continues that legacy but with a lighter, more playful edge. Whether it will set a trend for utility-driven memecoins or remain a one-off experiment is something the market will decide soon enough.
Community Grants – 1M $FWH Up for Grabs
To further drive engagement, ShapeShift is launching a grant round on @jokerace_io this week, allocating 1,000,000 $FWH to an active and thriving community. Crypto communities will have the opportunity to submit proposals detailing how they would distribute $FWH to active traders. The ShapeShift community will then vote to determine the winner, making this an entirely community-driven initiative.
Whether you’re an individual user or part of a larger crypto collective, there’s an opportunity to claim a share of $FWH. Stay tuned for more details about this JokeRace event and start preparing a unique distribution plan.
This initiative highlights ShapeShift’s commitment to fostering decentralized decision-making and rewarding those actively participating in the ecosystem.
