Building a platform makes P2P trading accessible and efficient for everyone.

Understand project goals.
"Global crypto adoption is surging, but centralized exchanges (CEXs) fail to serve millions in underserved markets."
(Key Challenges)
- Regional Financial Exclusion: Many countries (e.g., Nigeria, Vietnam, Argentina) face banking restrictions, currency instability, or limited access to global exchanges. Our platform will bridge this gap by enabling local fiat-crypto transactions with region-specific payment methods (e.g., mobile money, bank transfers).
- Regulatory Hurdles: CEXs often exit or restrict services in regulated markets (e.g., India, Nigeria). A P2P model with localized compliance can thrive

the Opportunity.
"We’re not competing with CEXs—we’re serving the users CEXs ignores."
(Unique Advantages)
- Hyper-Localization: Support local currencies (e.g., VND) and payment methods (e.g., Momo, ZaloPay, Bank transfer).
- Lower Barriers to Entry:
Simplified KYC for small trades.
Intuitive UX/UI for crypto newcomers.
- Cost Efficiency:
Cheaper fees than CEXs (e.g., 0% maker fees, 1% taker fees).
Minimal withdrawal costs to attract high-frequency traders.

(Card Sorting & Information Architecture)
- To ensure the easiest and most convenient user experience while avoiding unnecessary complexities, we decided to structure the website’s information architecture from the ground up.
- Our team explored one of the largest CEX platforms, Binance, and focused on P2P features to compile a list of relevant cards related to this functionality.
- After that, we began categorizing cards with similar topics together. The final result we obtained was:

CARD SORTING helped us understand the most critical functionalities needed for our platform.

INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE (IA) helps us visualize the flow of information and how platform will work.
