An aspiring agent must stake some SWEET with SwapSteem. The value of deposited SWEET, however, depends on each agent.
The amount of staked SWEET is equivalent to the amount of trade the agent can escrow at a time. For instance: Aaron wants to become an agent, and he staked 1000 SWEET by making a deposit to SwapSteem, he will be able to escrow trades that sum up worth below 1000 SWEET at a time. Aaron can increase his deposits to increase the maximum volume of Trades he can escrow on the platform.
The deposited Steem stands as collateral if Aaron decides to fraud the system and help one party to defraud the other.
What's in for the agent?
At SwapSteem we offer the fiat market for traders to exchange Cryptocurrency for local currency. We are aware of how some countries have placed ban/restrictions on their citizens to perform Crypto trade, which makes trading their Crypto for fiat difficult.
Does this mean, it is possible I can create an order indicating my interest to purchase steem with fiat through paypal?
