The peer-to-peer marketplace lets vendors settle crypto-for-fiat trades from their own wallets through smart-contract escrow. Founding vendors receive permanent status, a 25% fee discount, on-chain rebates and priority placement ahead of Senpero's public launch.
Mexico, October 16, 2026 -- Senpero, a non-custodial peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency marketplace, has opened applications for its Founding Vendor Program. The program is capped at 100 vendors and liquidity providers who join during its early access phase.
Approved vendors settle crypto-for-fiat trades directly from their own wallets. A smart contract holds the seller's crypto in escrow only while a trade is open, and Senpero does not take custody of user funds.
What founding vendors receive
Founding status is activated on the vendor's account once the application is approved, with no trading volume requirement. The package includes:
"On Senpero, a vendor never hands their funds to us," said a founding team member at Senpero. "The escrow contract holds crypto only while a trade is open, and every release is signed from the vendor's own wallet. The Founding Vendor Program is how we bring experienced merchants in early and make sure the people supplying liquidity share in the platform's economics from day one."
How a trade works
A trader browses open offers or posts their own, filtering by currency, amount and payment method. Once both sides agree on terms in the in-app chat, the seller's crypto is locked in on-chain escrow.
The buyer then sends the fiat payment directly to the seller, outside the platform. When the seller confirms the money has arrived, they release the crypto from escrow with their own wallet signature and the trade completes.
If a trade is disputed, both parties can upload evidence in the encrypted trade chat. Moderators review the case and can release or cancel the escrow.
Senpero also uses AI-based risk scoring and behavior analysis to flag suspicious activity, along with proof-of-work bot protection. Vendors complete identity verification at signup and can choose to publish offers open only to KYC-verified traders.
Coverage and fees
The marketplace supports 36 cryptocurrencies across 7 blockchain networks, including
Ethereum, Base, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum One and Optimism. Assets such as USDT, USDC, ETH and BNB can be traded against 32 fiat currencies, for 118 trading pairs in total.
Senpero publishes its full fee schedule online. Platform commission is charged only when a trade completes successfully, and the blockchain network cost of opening and closing escrow is listed separately.
Market context
The program opens at a time of change for P2P crypto trading. LocalBitcoins closed in 2023, and Paxful wound down its marketplace in November 2025, sending many independent vendors in search of new venues for their order flow.
"We kept the program to 100 spots on purpose," the spokesperson added. "Concentrating early order flow with a small group of active vendors gives traders deeper offers and gives vendors steadier demand."
How to apply
Vendors can apply through the Founding Vendor Program page by sharing the platforms they trade on today, the assets and currencies they work with, and their approximate monthly volume. There is no application fee, and every application is reviewed by the Senpero team. Approved vendors can then list offers in the Senpero marketplace with their own corridors, pricing, limits, payment methods and trade terms.
