	~~'''~~[https://hodlhodl.com/ ~~Hodl Hodl]''' is a P2P [[cryptocurrency]~~] exchange that allows users to trade directly with each other and it doesn't hold user’s funds — locking it in multisig escrow instead. This minimizes the possibility of crypto assets theft and reduces trading time.

	~~Because~~ Hodl Hodl ~~does not hold any money (neither cryptocurrency, nor fiat) it~~ is ~~not subject~~ to ~~complex compliance procedures~~. ~~All trades happen~~ directly ~~between users' cryptocurrency wallets~~. <ref name=~~coindesk~~>[https://~~www.coindesk~~.com/~~hodl-hodl-building-real-business-bitcoin-smart-contracts/ How~~ Hodl Hodl ~~Is Building a Real Business With Bitcoin Smart Contracts~~]</ref>		'''Hodl Hodl''' is a non-custodial peer-to-peer bitcoin trading platform. Counterparties trade directly; each contract uses a multisignature escrow address rather than a centralized hot wallet holding customer bitcoin or fiat.<ref name="faq">[https://hodlhodl.com/faq Hodl Hodl FAQ]</ref>

	==~~How does Hodl Hodl work?~~==		== Fees ==
	~~Hodl Hodl~~ <ref name=~~BH2018~~>[https://~~en.bitnovosti~~.com/~~2018~~/09/~~13/riga-will-host-baltic-honeybadger-bitcoin-conference-in-less-than-two-weeks/ Riga will host “Baltic Honeybadger” bitcoin conference~~]</ref> is a global P2P cryptocurrency exchange, where all trades occur directly between buyers and sellers, and without a middleman involved. Each time a contract is created between two parties, Hodl Hodl exchange generates a multisig escrow cryptocurrency address. The seller sends cryptocurrency from his wallet to this account, and when the cryptocurrency is locked in escrow, the buyer sends fiat to the seller. The seller then releases the locked cryptocurrency from escrow using his payment password, and the buyer receives them into his wallet.		Standard on-chain trading fees are 0.75% per party for ordinary registered users, or 0.5% for users who registered with a referral code or who have referred at least one active trader. Trades are also subject to a dynamic minimum trading fee tied to mempool conditions (normally not more than about US$5 equivalent under ordinary conditions), plus Bitcoin network fees on deposit and release.<ref name="fees">[https://hodlhodl.com/blog/en/fees Hodl Hodl: fees guide]</ref><ref name="faq"/>

	==~~How secure is~~ trading ~~on Hodl Hodl?~~==		== Lightning / Arkade ==
			Offers may use on-chain bitcoin or Lightning Network (LN-BTC) paths. Lightning offers use Arkade-based virtual escrow with atomic swaps; platform materials describe a trading fee (0.75% or 0.5% with referral) plus a dynamic swap fee.<ref name="faq"/><ref name="fees"/>

	~~The main priority of~~ Hodl Hodl ~~exchange is keeping your funds~~ and ~~details safe~~. ~~In order to start trading~~ on ~~our exchange, you only need to provide~~ a valid e-mail address and to create a password. During a trade, the funds are locked in multisig escrow, and if you are the seller, you hold one of the keys (your payment password you create before locking in the funds), even if something happens to the exchange, your cryptocurrency will remain unaffected. <ref name=~~HH>[http:~~/~~/forklog.net/hodl-hodl-its-not-bitcoins-job-to-make-you-rich/ Hodl Hodl: It’s Not Bitcoin’s Job to Make You Rich]</ref~~>		== Reputation imports ==
			Profile imports from LocalBitcoins, Paxful, LocalMonero, and AgoraDesk are no longer available; Hodl Hodl states those platforms have shut down and it can no longer validate their identification codes. Historical reputation previously linked from those sites may remain visible on a user’s Hodl Hodl profile.<ref name="faq"/>

	In order to release the funds, two keys are needed - one belongs to the seller (in any type of contract), one belongs to the buyer (if the contract type is 2-out-of-3) and the other one is Hodl Hodl's key (in any type of contract). A buyer cannot receive the cryptocurrency unless both the exchange and the seller sign the transaction (unless the type of contract is 2-out-of-3 and buyer wins a dispute). This arrangement ensures that both seller and buyer are protected from potential scamming. A seller is unable to return his cryptocurrency to himself unless the exchange signs the refund transaction (which requires the contract to be canceled, or in the case of a dispute, an explicit decision in his favor from a support manager).<ref name=~~OTC>~~[~~https://en.bitnovosti.com/2018/08/06/hodlhodl-cryptocurrency-~~exchange~~-will-launch-its-own-otc-desk/ HodlHodl cryptocurrency exchange will launch its own OTC desk~~]~~</ref>~~		== See also ==
