Getting Started

Trustfy is a marketplace where you trade USDT — a digital dollar — directly with other people, using your normal bank transfer or mobile money app to pay. There's no company in the middle holding your crypto. Instead, a small piece of code called a smart contract holds it safely until both sides confirm the trade went through.

This guide assumes you've never used crypto, never installed a wallet, and never heard the word “gas” used to mean anything other than what you put in a car. By the end of it, you'll be able to complete a full trade with confidence.

What you'll need#

Before your first trade, you'll want:

None of this needs to cost much or take long — the Wallet Setup guide walks through getting all of it in about ten minutes.

How this guide is organized#

The sidebar on the left groups every guide into five sections, roughly in the order a first-time trader needs them:

• Start Here — this page, wallet setup, and how Trustfy works conceptually.
• Trading — creating ads, buying, selling, and the full trade lifecycle.
• How Money Moves — escrow, payment, bonds, fees, and gas, explained individually.
• Safety — disputes and security practices.
• Reference — FAQ, troubleshooting, and a glossary you can search any time.

Your progress is saved automatically as you read (shown at the top of the sidebar), and you can jump to anything with the search bar — click it, or press Ctrl + K.

Your dashboard, once you're connected#

After you connect a wallet (next guide), you land on your Dashboard — a snapshot of your activity. The main areas you'll use are:
