Step 1: Create Trade Listing
Caldera will confirm a summary of the trade details.
Review this information and press the Accept button to confirm the trade, or press the Deny button to cancel it.
Step 4: Provide Wallet Details to Caldera
Both traders will be asked to send their portion of the trade to a specifically generated Caldera wallet.
The transaction will not progress until Caldera has received the full amount in the correct denomination from both sides.
Once Caldera receives both portions of the trade, it safely completes the trade, sending the coins after Caldera fees to the user's receiving address.
If one user was not to provide their side of the bargain, then Caldera will not complete the trade.
At any point before both users have submitted their correct amount, either user can decide to cancel the trade, in which case the funds will be returned to each user, minus the network fees.
Caldera fees that are taken from successful transactions are used to cover gas and transaction costs for the specific networks being traded, as well as support the protocol in hosting costs and the integration of new networks.
