### Introduction

#### What is SwapSteem

SwapSteem is a peer-to-peer, no custodian exchange platform built on the Steem blockchain. The main vision behind Swapsteem is to create a platform to enable Steem users to trade their STEEM/SBD for Fiat, Cryptocurrencies tokens, or pretty much anything with other users. It is a completely open source software licensed under AGPL and the license and source code can found on our GitHub repo.
We have installed a dynamic system on the SwapSteem UI, where trading parties signal each other for instant trading, and we connect the trading parties together to relate their terms and conditions of trade, and upon agreement, a trade is initiated between the users. For each trade, a trusted escrow agent is assigned for the cases when a dispute arises between the parties involved in the trade.

You can Log in and Trade on our exchange with your steem account or create a new one using the Sign up button on the Home Page at [https://swapsteem.com](https://swapsteem.com)

### What do we offer in our Beta

#### Insta Crypto Swap

Insta Swap is a term that means exchange of assets between individuals and exchange that provide a service to convert a cryptocurrency to another based upon the current market price. Insta Swap is a convention to encourage a genuine shared biological community for exchanging steem based assets to other crypto assets securely and near instantly under the moderation of a centralized exchange for quick automated withdrawals.

To swap your Cryptocurrencies instantly, you can use our Instant Swap feature powered by our partner [@onepagex](https://steemit.com/@onepagex).

#### Peer to Peer Fiat Swap for STEEM and SBD

FIat Swap is a term that means exchange of fiat currency between two individuals where Steem based assets are stored in a steem escrow transaction. Swap is a convention to encourage a genuine shared biological community for exchanging anything for STEEM blockchain based assets.

Swapsteem utilizes the inbuilt Escrow feature provided by the Steem blockchain for the security of funds. The STEEM/SBD is locked with a third party Escrow agent account until successful processing, who will have the authority to release the funds to either side in case of a dispute between the traders.
There is a time window of 2 hours for the Seller and Buyer to Initiate the escrow transaction and approve the escrow transaction. If the traders fail to complete the transaction until the deadline, the trade is canceled/rejected and any locked funds will be released to the Seller.
If the Escrow is transferred and approved by the traders, the agent will need to confirm the escrow too within the same deadline.
After the agent approval, again there is a window of 3 days from order creation for the Buyer and Seller to confirm the payment and Release the escrow respectively. If a dispute arises where the seller doesn't release funds after confirm payment or Buyer confirm payment without making a real deposit, or in case funds not released within the deadline, the escrow agent will have the authority to release the funds to either party depending upon the proofs presented by both parties.
