Unlike automated exchanges (such as the now-defunct eXch), which require substantial liquidity to operate smoothly, our team doesn't currently maintain such liquidity reserves. Instead, we decided to build a P2P platform, where users exchange cryptocurrency directly with each other. This approach removes the need for a centralized liquidity pool and ensures that swaps are made peer-to-peer, backed by escrow mechanics for fairness and security.
Yes, but you can't reach 2 before 1.
1) users wouldn't use a platform with low liquidity and a few hours' delay to exchange BTC-->USDT, while there are multiple alternatives, especially since we're talking about P2P crypto, not P2P crypto --> cash/local currency.
Therefore, in the first phase, as long as there aren't enough users, use the available liquidity to create a central pool and spend heavily on advertising. At a later stage, the primary trading could be from users, and the central pool could be used as an emergency option.
