🚀 Getting started

Your first trade, step by step

From finding a listing to receiving your crypto - everything that happens in a trade.


  1. 1In the Marketplace, filter by the crypto and payment method that work for you, and open a listing.
  2. 2Choose the amount (within the listing's range) and confirm to open the escrow.
  3. 3Follow the trade's instructions: if you're the buyer, pay through the agreed method and declare it; if you're the seller, wait for the payment and confirm it.
  4. 4Use the trade's chat to coordinate any detail with your counterparty.
  5. 5Once the payment is confirmed, the contract releases the crypto and you'll see it credited to your balance.
Never declare a payment you didn't make or confirm one you didn't receive. If there's a disagreement, open a dispute instead of releasing the funds.
