Peer-to-peer (P2P)
Buy and sell USDC on Base with per-trade on-chain escrow. Fiat moves off-chain.
P2P is for buying and selling USDC on Base against local-currency bank or remittance rails (DOP, EUR, USD, CHF). It is not the shop page and it is not Protecta.
How a trade works
- A seller posts an ad (or a buyer takes one).
- The seller locks the full USDC amount into a dedicated escrow contract created for that trade on Base.
- The buyer pays fiat off-chain — bank or remittance — between the two parties. Nodo does not run those rails.
- On-chain, the buyer marks paid; the seller releases (or cancels before paid). Either party can dispute. After a dispute, a Nodo arbiter may resolve.
Nodo does not take the USDC into a company wallet on a normal trade. The pot stays in that trade’s contract until release, cancel, or arbiter resolve.
