Introduction
What Nodo is
A shop page, a page designed for that shop, Protecta, and USDC P2P. The page for deciding whether it fits is When Nodo fits.
Nodo is not a listings marketplace and not a matcher between strangers.
It is the shop’s page and, when asked, custody of the payment. The page can be the standard one or one designed for that shop. Someone trading USDC uses the wallet and P2P.
To answer whether it fits, use when Nodo fits. That page wins if this one or another disagrees.
The idea
- The shop publishes products with a photo and a price. The URL is theirs.
- The customer fills a cart. The order goes out on WhatsApp. That path has no commission and Nodo does not touch the money.
- If the shop wants a design of its own, the page is built for that brand. The products stay the shop’s.
- If the buyer asks for Protecta, they pay Nodo and the money stays held until they confirm delivery, or it is refunded.
- With a wallet, you send and receive USDC on Base, or trade it peer to peer with an on-chain escrow.
What exists today
| Surface | Role |
|---|---|
| Shop | Products, price, and a page of your own. The order can go by WhatsApp without Nodo charging. |
| Designed page | A design made for that shop. Arranged separately. The catalog is the shop’s. |
| Protecta | Optional custody of the payment. Nodo holds the money; the shop sells. What is sold can be crypto. |
| Wallet | USDC on Base. Receive, send, activity. Keys are not on Nodo. |
| P2P | Buy and sell USDC with an on-chain escrow per trade. Fiat is off-chain. |
What it is not
- The seller of what the shop publishes. On Protecta, Nodo holds the money.
- A stand-in for the tax office or your accountant.
- A theme editor in settings. A designed page is arranged separately.
Use, prohibitions, and fees are in the terms. Data is in privacy. Wallet custody and identity checks: wallet and custody, AML, KYC, and verification.
