The Problem
Millions of users trade P2P daily across emerging markets, backed by nothing but personal reputation.
Every day, transactions worth $5 to $500 USDC happen inside Telegram groups, Discord servers, and Twitter DMs. There is no mechanism that ensures goods are delivered before money changes hands.
Existing solutions were not built for this reality. Manual P2P escrow agents depend on trusting one person. Centralized marketplaces do not support crypto. Ethereum-based escrow tools cost $5 to $50 per transaction in gas — economically unviable for deals under $100.
The buyer disappears immediately after the seller sends the item.
The seller receives payment and delivers nothing.
Use cases
Every use case below shares one trait: the deliverable is a string — key, credential, code, or URL — that the seller already possesses before the transaction is created. This is what makes commit-reveal work.
The delivery key and the product key are the same object. Windows, Office, antivirus, design tools — buyer pays, key is revealed instantly.
Templates, UI kits, ebooks, presets, or any file behind a download link. The delivery key is the access URL or password.
Netflix, Spotify, Disney+, YouTube Premium. Payment confirmation reveals the credential atomically. High volume, natural fit for P2P.
Game accounts sold via credential transfer. The delivery key is the login credential or redemption code.
OTC whitelist slots, priority mint access, invite codes — transactions executed entirely through DMs, with no protection today.
SaaS trial keys, API tokens, premium membership codes, VPN credentials. Any product where the deliverable is a string.
A short path from agreement to payout.
Fill out the form: item name, USDC amount, description, delivery deadline, and the delivery key the buyer will receive upon payment.
Clirex generates a unique link — share it via Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp.
The buyer opens the link — no app download, no account required. Connects Freighter or uses the app-managed wallet. USDC goes directly to the smart contract.
SEP-7 pre-fills everything. The buyer cannot alter the amount or destination.
Once payment is confirmed, the delivery key is revealed atomically. No gap. No room for the seller to take the money and vanish.
If no action in 48 hours, auto-release to seller.

Stellar Infrastructure
Clirex is not a custodial service with a blockchain badge. It is a Soroban smart contract deployed directly on Stellar Mainnet. Every tool below was chosen for a specific technical reason, not for checkbox compliance.
Escrow logic written in Rust. Compile-time memory safety prevents entire categories of smart contract bugs. Runs natively on Stellar.
Native interface for USDC. Transfers within the escrow cost a fraction of a cent without needing token wrapping or approvals.
Zero liability. Your private key never touches Clirex servers. Users sign transactions securely inside their browser extension.
The engine behind "pay via link." Encodes contract address, USDC amount, and function call directly into a shareable URL.
The deployed WebAssembly bytecode carries an on-chain reference to its open-source GitHub repository. Verifiable transparency.
Using Soroban RPC simulateTransaction. Users see exact fees before confirming, and failed transactions are prevented before they cost network fees.
