How to trade on Sage.
Sage is a peer-to-peer order book with an escrow overlay. You can accept an existing offer or post your own, negotiate through counter-offers, and settle within the agreed window.
Buy and sell offers.
Every offer has four things: side (buy or sell), amount (in USDT), rate (GHS per USDT), and settlement window. Post an offer to the public book, or accept one directly from the marketplace.
Negotiating a better deal.
Not happy with an offer? Send a counter-offer with a different rate or amount. The other trader can accept, reject, or send another counter. When both sides accept, the trade moves to settlement. No double-clicks, no duplicates.
The escrow flow.
Once a trade opens, both sides send their leg to Sage’s settlement account. Sage verifies each leg and, once both are in, releases funds to the receiving parties. Chat, upload receipts, and confirm proofs directly on the order page.
Every stage has a countdown. Missing a settlement deadline lets the other side raise a dispute.
Trade smart.
- Match your speed to the window. Choose 15 or 30 min only if you can actually move money that fast.
- Whitelist wallets and banks first. Sage only settles to registered destinations.
- Read the rate carefully. Rates are GHS per 1 USDT, quoted to 4 decimal places.
- Keep receipts. Upload every payment proof to the order chat immediately after sending.
