P2P is an easy way to trade SLP into cash, AXS, WETH and even Axies but is very risky and prone to scamming. Trading directly with another player requires no ETH as gas fees(ronin to ronin). It is best to transact only with well established players and get the help of a middleman. Be aware that some middleman/midman are scammers as well. Some scammers will also impersonate some established midman to fool unsuspecting players. The author will use SLP as the asset used in the example:
How it works:
- Seller of SLP contacts Buyer. They negotiate the price(cash) per SLP or the token to be exchanged in terms of AXS or WETH.
- After reaching an agreement, the seller contacts a midman.
- Seller sends SLP to the Ronin address of the midman.
- The midman will say when he receives the SLP.
- The Buyer now has to send cash or other tokens to the Seller. Bank transfer, electronic wallet(for cash) and Ronin Wallet(for tokens) may be used in this transaction.
- After the seller confirms the arrival of the cash/tokens, the seller will contact the midman to release the SLP.
- Buyer will confirm when he receives the SLP.
Tips
- Be sure to double check the address where you will send you SLP
- SLP is SMOOTH LOVE POTION not small love potion
- You need ETH in your Metamask Wallet to send assets Metamask to Binance
