Welcome to Trustfy.
Trustfy is a peer-to-peer marketplace for trading USDT — a digital dollar — with other people, using your normal bank transfer or mobile money to pay. Instead of a company holding your crypto, a smart contract on BNB Smart Chain holds it safely until both sides confirm the trade went through. This guide assumes you've never touched crypto before, and walks you all the way to your first completed trade.
Why decentralized trading is safer
Escrow, not custody
Your USDT sits in a neutral smart contract mid-trade — never in an account Trustfy controls.
Bonds keep everyone honest
Both traders post a refundable deposit, so bad-faith behavior has a real cost.
Independent arbitration
If a trade goes wrong, a neutral arbitrator reviews the evidence and rules — not Trustfy, not either trader.
