Being a small startup, every day is new and exciting. One day we are working on releasing a new feature, the next day we are redesigning our logo. We are always on a roll. This time our objective was to launch a completely new project.
Read MoreShrimpy is a fast-paced dynamic startup in the heart of Silicon Valley. It focuses on cryptocurrency portfolio management and a real-time trading API. It has been almost a year since I joined Shrimpy as a UI/ UX and Visual Designer. We are a small team with a great passion for working relentlessly to disrupt the landscape of cryptocurrency portfolio management by providing our users with the best possible experience and value from the Shrimpy platform. In order to achieve this mission, each team member has been wearing multiple hats at the same time!
Read MoreThe Shrimpy team is proud to announce we have solved the problem of trade execution across crypto exchanges. No more living in a nightmare. Take back your sanity with a single endpoint which can execute a limit order on every major exchange. Instead of 16 different implementations, you only need to manage one simple API which is consistent for every exchange. Developing this feature was met with agonizing pain, but we know the space will appreciate a unified interface which simplifies the development process.
Read MoreCryptocurrency exchanges have an abundance of data. In an industry that never sleeps, neither does the stream of information. The shear volume of this information has caused many services to restrict the resolution or availability of price movements. CoinMarketCap is one of these services. While their data is useful for some situations, it lacks the precision that is necessary for real-time trade execution. It neither updates in real-time nor does it allow for the collection of full order book data.

Read MoreTen months ago, Shrimpy went from managing $0 to $1,000,000 in just one month. In under 9 months, Shrimpy managed to achieve $250 million in trading volume across 6 different exchanges.
We expect to see a rapidly growing trend in terms of trading volume and are accordingly prepared to support the increased load while providing seamless trade execution through our advanced infrastructure.
