I just made $9 in four minutes.
Not trading shitcoins. Not flipping NFTs. I helped someone sell $900 worth of USDC.
My phone buzzed with a UNIGOX trade request. I sent a bank transfer, submitted proof, and four few seconds later $909 USDC hit my UNIGOX wallet.
Why did they pay me $9? Maybe they were sending money home or cashing out trading profits. I don't know and I don't need to. What I know: they needed money in their bank account instantly, and they are willing to pay me to make it happen.
Millions of people need to buy and sell crypto locally. And YOU can turn your bank account into a profitable business.
Traditional remittance companies charge people up to 8% on small amounts. Who wants to pay that?
People still do, due to lack of knowledge of what's available to them!
Most people shouldn't need to understand crypto to benefit from it. Someone getting paid for work or sending money home shouldn't spend hours picking which trader to trust on Bybit P2P or worrying if Binance will lock their funds.
That's why we built UNIGOX. No confusing offers. No chat negotiations. No custodial risk. Just automated, fraud-proof trades.
$1 trillion crosses borders annually, and 5-10% vanishes into bank fees. The market is massive! That's where you come in. This guide is from a founder and fellow trader to early adopters who sees what P2P 2.0 should be.
Being early means opportunity. Here's how it works, and how today you can help enable global money movement!
STEP 1: Sign up, Pass KYC & Fill the form
Non-Custodial, yet complient is what we stand for. Head over to https://www.unigox.com/ and create an account. Alternativly you can install our Playstore App to sign up on the platform.
Head over to https://www.unigox.com/kyc and pass the KYC.

Finally to fill out the Onboarding Form, head over to our Earn As a Vendor page.
STEP 2: List your Offer
When you are approved, you will have access to the Vendor Dashboard where you will create your first offer!

You can create two types of offers, to Buy USDT & USDC or to Sell,

The goal is to sell a little bit above the market and a little bit below the market to make a profit. To maintain liquidity on both side, you need to reserve an amount on the fiat bank account and your UNIGOX wallet.
Head over to the section where you can select the bank account. Type in the search the name of the bank you will be using for payments.
Compared to other P2P platforms, we match you based on the payment network supported by the selected bank, not just the bank. If your bank has fees on sending money outside of the bank, you can easily set them up and they will be automatically calculated in your rate, so you would not have to cover it.

It allows you to trade with any banks within the same network. More on that here.

Set the trade limits you are comfortable with. Your trade limits are tied to the liquidity you have available. Say you have 100 USDT and USDC as well as $200 worth of fiat currency in your account. You can create an offer within these trade limit ranges. This means that when a trade will come in, it will be within the amount you can fullfill.
Closely monitor these ranges based on how your liquidity changes, as you don't want to accept a trade, you are not able to fullfill.
Finally let's set the rate and create the offer!

The rate should be competative, otherwise you don't get trade requests. Weather your offer is competative or not, you will see after creating the offer.
STEP 3: BE COMPETATIVE & RESPONSIVE
Your Offers Page, provides you with a lot of important configurations and settings you can adjust to your needs.
What to pay attention to?
- Account: Online/Offline Status - Located on your top menu. Defines your overall account status determines if you will get Trade Requests for your active offers.
- Offer: Active/Inactive - Located at the bottom of each offer. Configures weather you will get Trade Requests for this specific offer.
- Position: Number - Located in the middle of each offer. It signals how competative your offer is in comparison to other vendors who have the same offer.

When users looking to on or off-ramp crypto come on UNIGOX, they enter the currency with the amount they are expecting to buy or sell.

Let's take selling 10 USDT as an example. User sees the best available price on the platform. This will be the UNIGOX Vendor who's position on #1 for this offer.
When user inputs information where they want to get paid, and click send money to that account, the matchmaking begins.
Vendors recieve trade requests, which timeout within 45 seconds if not accepted. If first vendor missed the trade request, it goes to the second one for and continues sequentially down until one of the online vendors accepts the trade request

You don't always have to always compete for the first place. You can be strategic about it. The first vendor get's all the trades and may run out of liquidity or simply not be able to handle all the trades. At the same time, if you are looking to do more trades, or re-balance your fiat & crypto balance, you may want to set more favorable rates to get more trades.
There are 3 ways of getting informed about an incoming trade request.
- Telegram Notifications
- App
- Website

To make fast trading and matchmaking possible, if you fail to accept the trade request on time for 3 consequitive times, you are set offline by our system. You will have to go and put youself back online.

STEP 4: PAYMENTS & ESCROW
When the trade starts, the crypo seller has 5 minutes to make the first move by depositing crypto in an onchain escrow. It is a multi sign smart contract with 3 parties:

- Crypto Buyer - Makes fiat payment and submits proof
- Crypto Seller - Adds money into escrow and espects fiat payment
- UNIGOX - Validates fiat payment and resolves disputes
For the trade to succesfully complete, 2 of the 3 participants have to agree on the direction weather the funds will go.
- Release to crypto buyer
- Refund to crypto seller
Since the funds are in Escrow, you now ready to make the payment. You can see that the trade has been moved from "Waiting on Counterparty" to "Active Trade"
You now have 15 minutes to make a payment and inform that crypto seller that you have made the payment.

After the payment is done, you get extra 15 minutes to submit payment proof. Depending on the payment method you select, you will see proof submission options. Some payment methods have ZK-TLS instant payment verifcation. Some simply have a proof update.

And there you go! You have completed your first trade!
STEP 5: HISTORY
Congradulations if you got this far! You will start stacking trades and making money, which you will want to track.

STEP 6: TRADE WITH ME
You don't have to wait for random people to find you.
Trade With Me lets you invite specific people to trade directly with you. Think of it as your personal trading link.
Why this matters:
You know people who need these services. Your friend who sends money to the Philippines monthly. Your coworker who gets paid in USDC. The local business owner who needs to move money across borders.

How founding traders are using this:
- Remittance corridors: "I help Nigerians in the UK send money home for 2% instead of 8%. Here's my Trade With Me link."
- Freelancer networks: "Getting paid in crypto? I'll cash you out instantly. Here's how to trade with me."
- Local communities: Telegram groups, Discord servers, WhatsApp chats where people regularly need to move money.
You're not just a trader waiting for volume. You're building a micro-remittance business using UNIGOX as your infrastructure.
The platform handles verification, settlement, and security. You handle marketing, relationships, and customer acquisition.
This is how early traders win: While everyone else waits for organic volume, you're building your own network. When UNIGOX scales, you already have customers who trust you and routes that are profitable.
Your Trade With Me link is your distribution channel. Use it.
Congradulation for making this far!
Right now, someone in Lagos is trying to figure out how to send money to their family without losing 5-8% to Western Union. Someone in Manila just got paid in USDC and needs pesos in their bank account today. Someone in Mexico City is comparing five different P2P traders, hoping they pick one who won't scam them.
These aren't edge cases. This is billions of people, trillions of dollars, every single year.
The infrastructure to move money globally without intermediaries is being built.
You just learned how to set up offers, execute trades, and turn your bank account into a bridge for global money movement. The platform is live. The technology works. Now it needs you.
Submit the form and become a founding trader.
We're building the rails. Help us lay the tracks.
