About

- Each trade locks BTC in a unique 2-of-3 multisig Bitcoin escrow address, so the provider never takes custody of user funds.

What it helps with
- Buying or selling Bitcoin without handing funds to a custodial intermediary or submitting identity documents
- Custody and theft risk when trading peer-to-peer, addressed by per-contract 2-of-3 multisig escrow
- Trading Bitcoin in currencies and with payment methods that mainstream exchanges do not support
- Cost of trading, addressed by a stated maximum 0.75% fee and 0.5% for referral-linked users
- Slow or impractical Lightning onboarding, addressed by Arkade-based LN-BTC offers with no channel management
