Fido Escrows preview:

Members can sign up as an escrow mediator, set their own terms, limits and fees, and build reputation via customer reviews.

Traders can select an escrow mediator and use 2-of-3 Bitcoin multisig escrow with the built-in web wallet or an external Bitcoin wallet.

For successful trades, the buyer can release funds to the seller without involving the mediator. In case of a dispute, the buyer can ask the mediator for a refund. Due to the 2-of-3 multisig, the mediator doesn't have sole control over the funds.

Fido Escrows is scheduled for release in February 2022.

Grupo Groups preview:

Users can start public or private groups for their hobby, city or profession with group-only listings (classifieds, jobs, fundraisers and exchanges) and discussion forums. Examples: a Bitcoin buy/sell group for New York City or a Bitcoin artists group.

Grupo Groups is scheduled for release in March 2022.

Bitvendo Federated Marketplace preview:

Bitvendo is an upcoming free and open source federated marketplace platform. Easy to install and customize like WooCommerce with federation like Mastodon.

Setup a single-vendor online store or a whitelisted/open multi-vendor marketplace with a one-click install – a basic VPS or Raspberry Pi is enough. Choose to support products, jobs, fundraisers or exchanges, plus Bitcoin, Monero or cash payments. If you don't want to self-host, you can list your products in an open multi-vendor marketplace (e.g. Bitejo.com).

Customers only need one account to shop in all federated stores, find products in a global search and make use of reputation and reviews. Buyers can use a regular web browser, no need for specialized software or an additional extension.

The open source codebase (PHP, SQL) makes it easy for devs to edit, extend and fork the marketplace.

Bitvendo aims to make it easier to build Bitcoin-friendly alternatives to Amazon, Ebay, Upwork, Fiverr, Uber, AirBnB, Kickstarter, GoFundMe and more – no technical knowledge required.

Bitvendo is currently under development and planned for release in Spring/Summer 2022.
