## What it is
SkipShift is a web interface to a peer-to-peer protocol for trading stablecoins against fiat with independent liquidity providers on EVM chains such as Ethereum, BNB Chain and Avalanche. Users connect their own wallet; crypto is locked in escrow smart contracts while the fiat leg is paid directly between the parties by bank transfer, payment apps and similar methods, with arbitration by the team if a trade is disputed. The interface is published by SkipShift, LLC under terms governed by Florida law, which say the company takes no custody of assets and may block wallets, IP addresses or jurisdictions for legal or risk reasons. The FAQ says most liquidity positions require the user to post 2,500 RBX tokens as collateral.
