How do I start a trade with Proton OTC?

  • Updated

This guide will show you how to create a Token and/or NFT trade proposal with your peer using Proton OTC. Additionally, we will discuss how to accept, reject and cancel a current trade. Best of all, no fees will be charged.

Before starting:

⛔ Do not accept Trade requests from unknown parties. All transactions are final, and cannot be reversed. 

Getting Started:

  1. Go to ProtonSwap.com/OTC and connect your WebAuth.com Wallet
  2. Recommended: scroll down to the 'Propose trade to' section first and enter the Proton username of the peer you'd like to trade with (no need to include the '@' name)
    • Once you enter their Proton name, you will be able to see their token balances and NFT collections to choose from
  3. The left-hand box is what asset and/or NFT you're willing to send, and the right-hand box is what asset and/or NFT you want to receive in return. Tap the '+' and it will allow you to choose between Tokens and NFTs
    • You include as many assets and NFTs to your trade proposal as you'd like!
    • When trading crypto, you can manually input how much you'd like!
    • If you'd like to switch around the assets you're exchanging between, you can tap the '↔️' button in the middle of the two boxes

  4. Choose how long you'd like the trade proposal to stand before expiring
    • Regardless of the number of minutes, hours or days you decide on, you can have your trade proposal last for as long as you'd like!
  5. Tap the 'Swap' button and then authorize with your WebAuth.com Wallet
