Hodl Hodl launching new P2P multisig escrow crypto exchange

@hodlhodl

Hodl Hodl has announced the launch of its peer 2 peer cryptocurrency exchange. As of right now, users can sign up, fill in their profile, set up 2fa, create offers, and explore other functionalities. The team has disabled contract creation in order to first form a suitable order book and be sure everything works 100%. The team suspects it shall be enabled by a week from now.

Still operating in beta, the Hodl Hodl testnet version is also available at https://testnet.hodlhodl.com. Those interested can use it with testnet bitcoin and litecoin to get a knack for the trading experience.

The team said that there will be no exchange commission until July 2018 when the exchange plans to come out of beta mode, so 0% fees up until then.

How does Hodl Hodl work?

Hodl Hodl is a P2P cryptocurrency exchange, where all trades occur directly between buyers and sellers, and without a middleman involved. Each time a contract is created between two parties, Hodl Hodl exchange generates a unique multisig escrow cryptocurrency address. The seller sends cryptocurrency from his wallet to this account, and when the cryptocurrency is locked in escrow, the buyer sends fiat to the seller. The seller then releases the locked cryptocurrency from escrow using his payment password, and the buyer receives it in their wallet.
