To start an account
01 / The flow
Three steps to a safe trade
No order books, no waiting on an exchange. Pick a person, pay your way, and let escrow do the trust.
02
Pay your way
Send payment with the method you both agreed on. The seller’s USDT is already locked in escrow, so it can’t go anywhere.
03
Get your USDT
The moment payment is confirmed, escrow releases instantly to your wallet. Disputed? Our team steps in with the full trade record.

Everything you need to move USDT with confidence — and nothing you don’t.
Escrow on every single trade
Funds are locked the instant an order opens and only release when both sides are satisfied. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
Instant settlement
Confirmed payments release in seconds, not hours. Most trades clear before you’ve closed the tab.
