Sargo.io [Batch 9]
Buy, Sell, and Earn from Just $0.5 with Any Wallet
Short Description
Welcome to Sargo, the future of peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency swaps. We’re revolutionising how you buy, sell, and earn stablecoins. With Sargo, you can start earning or make swaps for as little as $0.5, using the convenience and security of your favourite (non-custodial) wallets.
Long Description
What is Sargo.io?
Sargo.io is a decentralised application (dapp) designed to make P2P swaps fast, affordable, and accessible. Whether you use a Web2 wallet like M-Pesa or a Web3 wallet like MetaMask (and hopefully MiniPay), Sargo integrates seamlessly with your preferred wallet. Unlike traditional on/off ramps like MoonPay, Sargo offers swaps starting from just $0.5 with a minimal fee, split 50/50 between Sargo and the merchant fulfilling the swap.
Solving Key Problems
Opening the Micro-Swap and Earn Market:
Sargo enables micro-swaps and earnings from as little as $0.5, eliminating high fees for small stablecoin transactions.
Making P2P Swaps Accessible:
By integrating with trusted wallets like MetaMask and M-Pesa, Sargo makes P2P swaps accessible using both Web2 and Web3 wallets.
Simplifying P2P Transactions:
With our upcoming V2, Sargo will aggregate liquidity across thousands of non-custodial wallets, minimising custody risks and maximising efficiency.
