A seller offers a fixed lot for 20 SOL. Buyers contribute toward that target before the deadline. If the target is missed, they can reclaim their contributions.
Turn the card to see the planned steps.
How it is planned to workComing soon
1
The seller sets the lot, total price and deadline.
2
Buyers review the terms and contribute toward the target.
3
A successful deal creates token claims. A failed deal allows refunds.
A target is not guaranteed to fill. This buys a token position, not ownership or control of the project. A failed deal may require each contributor to claim a refund; it is not a promise of an instant automatic payment.

Share one link with the price, amount and terms ready to review.
Who it helps
Anyone arranging a direct deal in a community chat or message.

Prepare an offer and copy its deal link.
2
The recipient opens the link and reviews the exact terms.
3
Each required party approves the trade with their own wallet.

Commitment Deals
Choose when your tokens unlock.
Agree on a price in exchange for a clear lock or gradual release.
Who it helps
Buyers comfortable waiting for tokens and sellers offering different terms.
Purchased tokens become available on the agreed dates.
A seller offers one price for immediate delivery and a lower price for tokens that unlock gradually over 30 days. The buyer chooses whether the wait suits them.

1
The seller states the price and unlock schedule.
2
The buyer checks when each portion becomes available.
3
After settlement, the buyer claims tokens as they unlock.
A discount is not yield or guaranteed profit. Locks apply to the purchased allocation, not every token the buyer owns. They do not prevent trading elsewhere with other holdings or selling after an unlock.

Join a timed bidding round without seeing everyone else's bid first.
Who it helps
Sellers collecting competing offers and buyers who prefer sealed terms.
Bids enter a round before its results are revealed.
A seller sets a reserve price and a round deadline. Buyers submit bids under the published rules, then the round reveals results and determines eligible allocations.
