How does it work in practice?
- Log in with an email or a Nostr private key.
- Create a buy or sell order.
- A provider (who keeps a BTC guarantee locked) accepts the order.
- Pay or send as agreed in the order chat.
- The order completes when the provider sends the transaction hash or receipt.

Frequently asked questions
- Does a P2P platform hold my bitcoin?
- On escrow platforms, bitcoin is locked in multisig or a hold invoice during the trade, not in a company account.
- Can I use instant bank payments in a no-KYC trade?
- Yes, they are common in fiat offers. They identify the payer to the seller, but they do not create an account at the platform.
- What if the counterparty disappears?
- With escrow there is a dispute process and the bitcoin stays locked until resolution. Without escrow, the risk is entirely yours.
