What is P2PFather?

A secure digital escrow marketplace for peer-to-peer crypto trades
Imagine you want to sell your USDT for INR. You post an offer saying "Selling 100 USDT at ₹93". A buyer accepts your offer.

How do you trust each other without getting scammed?
That's where our Smart Contract Escrow (Locker) steps in! The seller's crypto is locked inside an audited blockchain smart contract. Nobody can withdraw or steal it until the seller confirms they received the exact INR directly into their bank account.
How a Trade Works Step-by-Step
🔴 Seller locks crypto in Escrow
→
🔐 Smart contract locks funds
🟢 Buyer transfers ₹ INR via UPI
→
🔴 Seller checks official Bank App
🔴 Seller taps "Release Crypto"

Getting Started

4 simple steps to begin trading in under 2 minutes
1
Open the Telegram Bot
Search @P2p_fatherbot on Telegram or tap the "🚀 Open App" button at the top of this page.

Your Smart Wallet is Auto-Created 🎉
You are automatically assigned a self-custodial wallet address (e.g. 0x365d...5799). This is where your crypto is safely held.
3
Set Up Your Payment Methods
Navigate to Profile → Add your UPI ID, GPay/PhonePe number, or Bank Account details. This is used for sending & receiving INR.
4
Connect External Wallet or Socials (Optional) 🔌
You can connect an external Web3 wallet like MetaMask, or sign in seamlessly via Email, Google, Apple, X, Discord under the Wallet tab.

Wallet vs Vault

Understanding where your crypto lives on P2PFather
🪙 Your Wallet
Like cash in your pocket. You have full custody and can hold, send, or withdraw to external exchanges at any time.
🔐 The Vault (Escrow)
Like cash in a secure bank locker. Crypto deposited in the Vault is ready to be locked into live buy/sell ads instantly.
💡
Pro Tip: To create a sell ad or start trading, deposit funds from your Wallet → Vault first.

How to Deposit

Funding your Vault so you are ready to trade
🏦
Option 1: Transfer from an Exchange (Binance, CoinDCX, etc.)
1
Open the Wallet tab in the app and copy your personal deposit address.
2
Go to your exchange withdrawal page and select the corresponding network:
• Base Network → for USDC (Fast & Zero Trading Fees)
• BSC (BNB Smart Chain / BEP20) → for USDT & BNB
3
Once funds arrive in your Wallet, tap "Deposit to Vault". Done! ✅
🛒
Option 2: Buy Directly with INR on P2PFather
Don't have crypto? No problem! Browse live sell offers on the Orders page, pay the seller via UPI, and the crypto lands directly in your Vault.
⚠️
Always match the Network! Never send BSC USDT to a Base address, or funds could be lost on-chain. Always double-check before initiating a transfer.

⛽ Blockchain Gas Fees

The minimal on-chain network transaction charge
Every on-chain action (moving crypto from Wallet to Vault or withdrawing) incurs a tiny fraction of a cent in blockchain gas fees.
Action Gas Token Needed Estimated Cost
Deposit to Vault ETH on Base  or  BNB on BSC ~$0.01 – $0.05
Withdraw from Vault ETH on Base  or  BNB on BSC ~$0.01 – $0.05
Transfer to External Wallet ETH on Base  or  BNB on BSC ~$0.01 – $0.05
💡
Keep a tiny gas reserve: Having $0.20 of ETH (Base) or BNB (BSC) in your wallet ensures smooth, uninterrupted transactions.

🔐 How Escrow Keeps You Safe

The unbiased smart contract protects both counterparties
• Non-Custodial Escrow: Crypto is locked inside decentralized smart contracts on Base/BSC. Not even the P2PFather team can seize your funds arbitrarily.

• No Chargebacks: Crypto is only released when the seller verifies money in their bank account.

• Admin Mediation: If a buyer fakes a payment screenshot, the seller keeps their crypto. If a seller refuses to release after receiving verified funds, dispute admins step in to release the escrow.

⚖️ Dispute Resolution

What happens if there is an issue during a trade?
When to Open a Dispute:
• Buyer marked paid, but seller did not receive the INR.
• Seller received payment, but refuses or forgets to release crypto.
• Incorrect payment amount was transferred.
1
Tap "⚠️ Open Dispute"
Either party can open a dispute directly in the trade room.
2
Submit Official Evidence
Upload bank statement PDFs, transaction reference / UTR numbers, and payment screenshots into the dispute chat.
3
Admin Audit & Execution
An admin verifies the banking record with both parties. Once validated, the escrow contract is programmatically released to the rightful owner.
