You can make a formal, on-chain offer in two ways:


  1. From the Listing Page: On any ad, there will be a [ Make Offer ] button. This is for making a direct offer without prior discussion.


  1. From the Chat: This is the most common method. During a discussion with a user, you can formalize a price point. Inside the chat window, look for the handshake icon 🤝 next to the message input field.

Clicking the handshake icon 🤝 or the [ Make Offer ] button will open the offer interface.


  1. Set the Price: Enter the amount for your offer.
  2. Confirm the Currency: The currency will usually default to the listing's currency, but you can change it if needed.
  3. Submit the Offer: Click [ Submit Offer ].


The other user will receive an official notification with your offer clearly displayed.

Once an offer is sent, the recipient has two choices:


  • [ Accept ]: If they accept, the deal is considered finalized at the new price. The old listing price is now irrelevant for this specific deal. The buyer will be prompted to pay the new, agreed-upon amount into the escrow wallet to begin the transaction.


  • [ Reject ]: If they reject, the offer is void. They can then send a counter-offer back to you, continuing the negotiation until an agreement is reached or one party walks away.


This system creates a flexible and fair marketplace for everyone.
