Your First Trade: Offers, Proposals, and Acceptance

Step-by-step guide to posting your first offer or request and completing a simple exchange.

By KYC User 06 Apr 2026 Rev. 1

Posting an offer

An offer is something you have and are willing to trade. A request is something you need.

To post:

  1. Go to Marketplace → Create Project
  2. Choose Offer or Request
  3. Set the commodity type: Lease, Hire, or Exchange
  4. Add a description, availability, and location
  5. Optionally attach a video slideshow — this dramatically increases engagement

Receiving a proposal

When someone is interested, they send a proposal. You'll receive a notification. You can:

  • Accept — moves to contract stage
  • Counter — propose different terms
  • Decline — closes the proposal

Moving to contract

Once accepted, the platform generates a contract with:

  • Both parties' signatures required
  • Milestones you define (or use a template)
  • Escrow: the buyer's LTU is locked until milestones are released

Completing a trade

  1. Buyer funds escrow with LTU
  2. Seller delivers on the milestone
  3. Buyer approves — escrow releases to seller
  4. Both parties' IA scores are updated based on outcome

If there's a disagreement, either party can open a dispute — which triggers the expert panel process.
