Problem
Centralized cryptocurrency exchanges present risks of censorship, high fees, and potential loss of funds due to custody requirements. Existing decentralized exchanges (DEXs) may suffer from limited liquidity and a lack of support for fiat currency on-ramps.
Solution
Joint provides a decentralized protocol for peer-to-peer (P2P) trading of crypto and fiat assets, enabling users to create markets and swap assets directly from their wallets. The protocol eliminates the need for intermediaries, ensuring low fees and enhanced privacy through non-custodial transactions. By leveraging autonomous blockchain smart contracts, Joint offers censorship resistance and operational immutability, allowing anyone to access liquidity and swap assets without permission. Developers can utilize Joint to build censorship-resistant and permissionless crypto on-ramps and P2P marketplaces.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes cryptocurrency traders seeking low fees and enhanced privacy, as well as developers looking to build decentralized P2P marketplaces and fiat on-ramps.
