Introduction
It's my pleasure to attend another lecture at the Academy yet again. Earlier this week, I've attended a few lectures which have been great so far, this time, I've read the lecture presented by professor
@sapwood where the professor lectured on
Non-custodian P2P Marketplace (Localcryptos). The lecture is a very interesting one and I will be attending to the task given by the professor in this piece of article.
Overview of the Non-custodian P2P Marketplace (Localcryptos)
The topic contains some important words I'd like to spare a few minutes to explain. Hearing the word Non-custodian simply means a situation whereby you are in control of the activities of the asset in question, as likened to the Non-custodian crypto wallet, it means you alone have the total control over the assets in the wallet. Another word here is P2P which simply means Peer to Peer, while Marketplace is a space where trading (buying and selling) takes place and having Localcryptos hosting the services.
Now talking about the Non-custodian P2P Marketplace (Localcryptos), this is non-custodian P2P trading platform that allows traders to trade amongst each other, satisfying each other's condition of purchase/sell. Localcryptos offer traders to trade their crypto assets for other crypto assets or crypto assets for fiat and as such, have four crypto assets available on the platform which are; BTC, LTC, DASH and ETH with 40+ fiat currency options. Localcryptos remain fully decentralized, offers secured trading with an on-chain escrow service, options to trade crypto for crypto and crypto for fiat, and many other services which keeps the owner of the wallet in full control of his/her assets. Let's go into the task proper.

4. How secure is Localcryptos as a non-custodial P2P Market?
Localcryptos as a non-custodian P2P marketplace is very secure for both the buyers and sellers carrying out trades on the platform. The level of security of Localcryptos can be credited to the Decentralization and On-chain Escrow service technologies employed for the running of the platform. Let's talk briefly about the above-mentioned technologies.
Decentralization
An account on Localcryptos is decentralized as other crypto wallets which are otherwise known as Web wallets. Localcryptos being a decentralized wallet gives the owner of the wallet full control over their assets without waiting for any central governing council's permission before making decisions of choice as such, its P2P stays secure as a user is still in total control of his/her assets until the final settlement of trades is made. Note that: users have the private keys to their wallets on Localcryptos which keeps them in total control and can backed up offline for more safety.
On-chain Escrow service
Unlike other centralized exchanges that utilizes off-chain Escrow service (third party) in P2P trades, Localcryptos uses an on-chain escrow service to settle disputes between buyers and sellers timely, if any, and as such the presence of on-chain Escrow service in localcryptos allow users (buyers and sellers) to make trades confidently knowing they are in safe hands.
In addition, the Escrow service does not interfere in trades unless there is a dispute in a trade and all asset put in Escrow remain the owners' without the fear of your assets getting tampered since it's controlled by smart contracts, not third party.
How does escrow protection safeguard both buyers and sellers?
Earlier on, I stated that Localcryptos employs an on-chain Escrow service to secure users assets which utilizes smart contracts, meaning both buyers and traders are carrying out secured trades based on smart contracts and not secured by a third party as seen in centralized exchanges. The Escrow service exists in Localcryptos to settle trade disputes between users during a trade. As highlighted earlier, if there is a dispute during a trade, the Escrow service looks into the situation carefully and releases the assets to the rightful trader after verifying all evidence as a means of resolution to the dispute. There is also an interface for buyers and sellers to interact, it is recommended that a seller should confirm payment before releasing the assets although, if there are irregularities, Escrow would come in to resolve but to avoid such occurrence (delay), confirm payment before releasing assets.
The features of how on-chain Escrow service in Localcryptos safeguard traders
The existence of an on-chain Escrow service in Localcryptos gives both sellers and buyers the full confidence to enter a trade knowing they are safe in the process.
Sellers moves their assets into Escrow to guarantee buyers and release when all conditions are satisfied. Also, the seller can easily abort if the buyer fails to make payment as agreed within the transaction window time and a buyer can choose to cancel a trade at their end.
The Escrow service would timeout automatically if the buyer failed to make a confirmation of his/her payment within the transaction window time.
The Escrow service intervenes if there is any dispute in trades between buyers and sellers, verify all evidence and release assets to the right person after all evidence satisfies he/she is right in the trade

Conclusion
In conclusion, Localcryptos Non-custodian P2P Marketplace has proven to be a great option as compared to other centralized exchanges P2P marketplace as it employs decentralized technology to put users in total control of their assets. Another great feature is the on-chain Escrow service that is facilitated by smart contracts to safeguard users in trades, allow the users to still be in control of their assets in Escrow which could be released at will and settle disputes in trades if there is any.
Further on, users have the
private keys to their wallets which can be used for re-import purpose. Although it has its shortcomings too as it's limited to just four crypto assets
BTC, ETH, LTC, and DASH at the moment, high
Maket Taker fee as compared to other
centralized exchanges like Binance that is fee-less and so on but overall, Localcryptos Non-custodian P2P Marketplace is a great alternative. Thanks to professor
@sapwood for this wonderful lecture. Thank you, all.

So by reading this and to know if I understood it, localcrypto.com works in a decentralized manner and support only 4 cryptos..
Localcryptos Non-custodian P2P Marketplace is only meant for buying and selling of crypto and exchange of crypto to fait currency..
Can trade be done in localcrypto.com, and the coin that this site support, how are they traded in pair since it jez 4 coin it support...as in can we see a BTC/xrp or other coin apart from the 4 supported crypto..
Or they can only pair each other that is within the 4 cryptocurrency
Points to ponder
