Introduction

wEX is a P2P stablecoin/cash exchange app.

It helps users swap fiat and stablecoins with escrow and reputation signals.

Fiat settlement is off-chain (cash or bank transfer). Escrow reduces crypto-side risk, but it does not eliminate fraud. Use reputation signals and in-app chat logs.

What you can do

  • Create buy/sell offers.
  • Find matching offers nearby (map + location filters).
  • Chat in-app to agree on details.
  • Settle deals via escrow (one-sided guarantee).
  • Connect social accounts to improve trust signals.

How it works (high level)

  1. Create a quick request (side, amount, payment method).
  2. Browse matching offers, or create a custom offer.
  3. Agree in chat on practical details (meeting point / bank transfer).
  4. Crypto is locked in escrow.
  5. Fiat is sent.
  6. Escrow releases stablecoins after confirmation.

Full flow: Use case.
