​
How it works

Every trade on Sendovex goes through three parties:
  • Buyer: wants to acquire crypto (USDT or USDC) by paying fiat (ETB) to the seller
  • Seller (Merchant): holds crypto and is willing to sell at their listed rate
  • Smart contract escrow: a trustless on-chain program that holds the seller’s crypto until the buyer confirms fiat payment
No middleman holds your funds. The escrow is a public smart contract on Polygon, not a Sendovex bank account.

​
Why Sendovex?

  • Self-custodial wallets: your crypto stays in your own Sendovex Smart Wallet. Sendovex never controls it.
  • No gas fees: all Polygon transactions are covered by Sendovex. You never need POL.
  • Verified merchants: merchants can add an identity verification badge to their profile. Buyers can use this as a trust signal when choosing who to trade with.
  • Built-in dispute resolution: if a trade goes wrong, open a dispute from the trade screen and a Sendovex agent will review the evidence.

​
Who can use Sendovex?

Anyone with a smartphone can create an account and start trading as a buyer. To list trades as a merchant, you need to enable Merchant Mode from the Account tab.
Sendovex is currently available in Ethiopia. Fiat transactions are denominated in ETB.
