How the exchange works

One of our main advantages is thatwe do not store your funds, which can be misleading and raise the question “How does the exchange work?”

We would like to briefly explain the process of trading on Hodl Hodl (with a more detailed explanation of the technical functionality in further blog posts).

  1. An offer is being created

It all starts with creating an offer; for this you are not requiredNOTHINGexcept an account on Hodl Hodl.

Many of our clients are accustomed to the fact that they need to send a deposit or pass verification in order to create an offer, forget about it, Hodl Hodl allows everyone to freely create offers without it.

If you are selling, all that is required of you issend bitcoins to escrow after the contract has been created. If you buy, you are only required to pay for the bitcoins, but only after the seller has locked the funds in escrow.

  1. Contract

The process is slightly different from other P2P exchanges, butnot much, you are still trading on a P2P basis, which means that you trade directly with a counterparty, and we provide a technical solution for this and a platform where you can find a counterparty.

The main difference is that we do not have any wallets and you do not need to send your funds to us before creating an offer and a contract.

The contract process step by step:

  1. A contract is created, Hodl Hodl generates a unique multisig escrow address;
  2. The seller sends Bitcoin to escrow directly from his wallet;
  3. The buyer sends the payment to the seller according to a pre-agreed payment method;
  4. The seller withdraws bitcoins from escrow directly to the buyer's wallet.

When the transaction is completed, we deduct 0.6% from the amount that the seller sent to the escrow, the commission is equally divided between the buyer and the seller, therefore, everyone pays 0.3%.

Here's the whole bidding process:no KYC / AML, no deposit of funds, no advance deposit or anything else.
