# Trading

Peer-to-peer, escrow-based trading. Use cards that are tokenized on any chain, or physically in person. Come to an equal, fair, and agreed upon value. Use SOL, and USDC in any configuration.

## How It Works

1\. Visit a collector's profile and tap Propose Trade

2\. Select which of your cards to offer (digital and physical)

3\. Add SOL or USDC if needed

4\. Specify what you want from them

5\. Sign the transaction — your assets move to escrow

6\. They review and accept or decline

7\. Accept → assets swap atomically. Decline → your assets return.

#### Escrow

When you send a proposal, your offered assets move to a program-controlled escrow wallet on Solana. They can't be spent, stolen, or double-used. The only two outcomes are a completed swap or a full return.

#### Settlement

On-chain cards settle instantly — zero wait time, zero chargeback risk. Ownership transfers the moment both sides agree.\
\
You can also trade your physical cards. If you accept an offer that includes your physical cards, send them in to us and they get tokenized so the trade can complete on-chain.

#### Trading Floor

The Trading Floor is a public chat where collectors share cards, post what they're looking for, and find trade partners. You can attach up to 6 cards to any message. When someone posts a card you're interested in, tap it to see full details, message the owner, or propose a trade directly. It's how people connect for trades and how rare cards get surfaced in the app.

#### Accepting & Declining

The recipient gets a trade offer in their messages with images of every card on both sides and accept/decline buttons. They can tap any card to see full details, message you to negotiate, or check your profile before deciding.

**Trades don't expire** — proposals stay open until the recipient responds, or you decline the original offer.
