# Bilateral P2P Marketplace

> *"No slippage. No algorithmic price drag. Direct agreements between walkers."*

## Why P2P?

In standard Automated Market Makers (AMMs), executing large orders shifts the bonding curve, resulting in **price impact (slippage)**.

For retail orders of $500 to $5,000, AMM slippage is negligible. But when a treasury, whale, or yield investor wants to allocate **$50,000 or $500,000**, trading entirely against an on-chain AMM pool could move rates against them.

**The P2P Yield Marketplace** solves this through **Bilateral Over-The-Counter (OTC) matching**.

## How It Works

```
[ Maker: Posts Listing ] ──> Locked in Escrow ──> [ Taker: Fills Order ]
  - Wants: 11.20% Fixed APR                           - Takes: 11.20% Fixed APR
  - Size: 50,000 USDG                                 - Size: 50,000 USDG
  - 0.00% Slippage                                    - 0.00% Slippage
```

### 1. Posting a Listing ("Maker")

* Select the asset (`USDG`, `NVDA`, `AAPL`).
* Set your **Target Fixed APR** (e.g. 11.50%).
* Set your **Notional Size** (e.g. 25,000 USDG).
* Click **"Publish P2P Listing"**. Your offer is broadcast instantly to all walkers and market makers on Robinhood Chain.

### 2. Filling an Order ("Taker")

* Open the **P2P Marketplace** modal in the trading console.
* Browse live open listings from fellow participants.
* Review the APR, size, and maturity.
* Click **"Fill Order"** to execute atomically with **0% AMM slippage**.
