Wallet and P2P

Wallet

When you create your Nodo account you can open a USDC wallet on the Base network, or connect one you already have. From there you receive, send, and review your history.

• Your keys are not on Nodo. The wallet is created with Privy and you sign every transaction.
• USDC on Base only. Other tokens or networks sent to that address do not show as balance.
• Nodo does not hold your balance. The USDC sits in your address on a public network.

P2P

P2P lets you buy and sell USDC with other people in the community, for pesos, dollars, euros, or Swiss francs.

1. The seller posts an offer with a price and payment methods.
2. When someone takes the offer, the seller locks the USDC in an escrow contract created only for that trade.
3. The buyer sends the money by bank or remittance directly to the seller and marks it as paid.
4. The seller confirms receipt and releases the USDC to the buyer.

If there is a disagreement, either side can open a dispute. A Nodo arbitrator reviews the chat and receipts and decides. Meanwhile, the USDC stays in the contract.

Terms

The money leg happens off-chain, between the two people. Nodo does not operate those payment rails.

How the escrow works in detail, its roles, and the risks are in Wallet and custody.
