Senpero Opens 100-Seat Founding Vendor Program for Its Non-Custodial P2P Crypto Marketplace
Oct 16, 2026
The peer-to-peer marketplace lets vendors settle crypto-for-fiat trades from their own wallets through smart-contract escrow. Founding vendors receive permanent status, a 25% fee discount, on-chain rebates and priority placement ahead of Senpero's public launch.
Mexico, October 16, 2026 -- Senpero, a non-custodial peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency marketplace, has opened applications for its Founding Vendor Program. The program is capped at 100 vendors and liquidity providers who join during its early access phase.
Approved vendors settle crypto-for-fiat trades directly from their own wallets. A smart contract holds the seller's crypto in escrow only while a trade is open, and Senpero does not take custody of user funds.
What founding vendors receive
Founding status is activated on the vendor's account once the application is approved, with no trading volume requirement. The package includes:
- A permanent Founding badge on the vendor's public profile
- A 25% discount on platform fees, applied automatically to every settled trade
- On-chain volume rebates of up to 30% of the platform's trading fees, paid to the vendor's wallet as claimable smart-contract vouchers
- Priority placement, with Founding offers ranked above non-VIP offers in the same currency corridor
- A vendor analytics console tracking filled volume, release speed and buyer completion rates
- Trade alerts by web push, email and Telegram
- Fast-track moderator review if a trade goes into dispute
- Direct support from the founders and moderation team
"On Senpero, a vendor never hands their funds to us," said a founding team member at Senpero. "The escrow contract holds crypto only while a trade is open, and every release is signed from the vendor's own wallet. The Founding Vendor Program is how we bring experienced merchants in early and make sure the people supplying liquidity share in the platform's economics from day one."
How a trade works
A trader browses open offers or posts their own, filtering by currency, amount and payment method. Once both sides agree on terms in the in-app chat, the seller's crypto is locked in on-chain escrow.
The buyer then sends the fiat payment directly to the seller, outside the platform. When the seller confirms the money has arrived, they release the crypto from escrow with their own wallet signature and the trade completes.
If a trade is disputed, both parties can upload evidence in the encrypted trade chat. Moderators review the case and can release or cancel the escrow.
Senpero also uses AI-based risk scoring and behavior analysis to flag suspicious activity, along with proof-of-work bot protection. Vendors complete identity verification at signup and can choose to publish offers open only to KYC-verified traders.
Coverage and fees
The marketplace supports 36 cryptocurrencies across 7 blockchain networks, including
Ethereum, Base, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum One and Optimism. Assets such as USDT, USDC, ETH and BNB can be traded against 32 fiat currencies, for 118 trading pairs in total.
Senpero publishes its full fee schedule online. Platform commission is charged only when a trade completes successfully, and the blockchain network cost of opening and closing escrow is listed separately.
Market context
The program opens at a time of change for P2P crypto trading. LocalBitcoins closed in 2023, and Paxful wound down its marketplace in November 2025, sending many independent vendors in search of new venues for their order flow.
"We kept the program to 100 spots on purpose," the spokesperson added. "Concentrating early order flow with a small group of active vendors gives traders deeper offers and gives vendors steadier demand."
How to apply
Vendors can apply through the Founding Vendor Program page by sharing the platforms they trade on today, the assets and currencies they work with, and their approximate monthly volume. There is no application fee, and every application is reviewed by the Senpero team. Approved vendors can then list offers in the Senpero marketplace with their own corridors, pricing, limits, payment methods and trade terms.

Frankie Lor sets Stormy Grove on path to Hong Kong Mile with Group Two Sha Tin Trophy test
Frankie Lor Fu-chuen is hoping last season’s Classic Cup winner Stormy Grove can pass his first test on the road to the Group One Hong Kong Mile when he tackles Monday’s Group Two Sha Tin Trophy (1,600m). The Toronado galloper soared from the back of the field to collect the second leg of last season’s Classic Series, before running a mighty race to finish third in the Hong Kong Derby (2,000m) behind Invincible Ibis. His season ended prematurely on his next start, however, as he bled from both...
Promising Chinese teen basketball player joins top US high school, sparking training debate
A top American high school snapping up a talented Chinese teen basketball player once deemed “too short” to represent the national team has sparked debate online about the country’s rigid training and selection criteria.

Sydney’s wet weather has Zac Purton more hopeful than confident in Ka Ying Rising
Persistent rain in Sydney has Zac Purton more hopeful than confident in Ka Ying Rising as the champion sprinter bids to defend his crown in the Group One The Everest (1,200m) at Randwick on Saturday. Purton is concerned about Ka Ying Rising’s ability to handle a wet track, with Randwick rated a heavy 8 on Thursday after heavy rain earlier in the week and more showers on Thursday. The world’s best racehorse has only raced on an official rain-affected track once in Hong Kong, winning the 2024...
Asian Cup could be switched to 2028, tennis’ Six Kings Slam delayed over Saudi bomb fears
The Six Kings Slam tennis tournament originally scheduled for October has been pushed back to late December, Fifa’s esports finals have been postponed, and officials are considering whether to move the Asian Cup to 2028, after the recent attacks on Saudi Arabia.

ACL 2: Tai Po braced to face ex-England junior player on roll as coach in Far East
Mark Jackson was a good enough footballer to make 18 Premier League appearances for Leeds United; to play at Old Trafford, Goodison Park, Highbury and Anfield; and to keep the prolific Ian Wright off the scoresheet in an FA Cup victory over Arsenal. As a coach, he led Leeds’ under-18 and under-23 teams to league titles. None of that afforded Jackson a second crack at management in his native England, after his first chance with MK Dons lasted only 4½ months. Not for Jackson the mulligan that is...

A dual winner in Ireland pre-import, the No Nay Never galloper was a revelation in his opening local starts, using a Class Three success as a stepping stone to Derby glory when trained by Dennis Yip Chor-hong in 2024. Injuries have plagued the six-year-old since, however, and he had only run...

No sanction has yet been announced, but City could face a heavy points deduction leading to...
Culprits found, say sorry after sparking flashpoint during WTT China Smash final
A table tennis team from Chinese Taipei have issued a formal apology on Wednesday after video footage confirmed two of their junior players accidentally triggered a camera flash that disrupted the men’s singles final at the WTT China Smash in Beijing. The incident had initially drawn heavy scrutiny on Japan’s newly crowned world No 1 Sora Matsushima, who was penalised with a yellow card for abruptly interrupting play to complain about the flash and subsequently accused by fans of using...
A place in university the next goal for Chinese athlete Chen Yujie, Asia’s fastest woman
Fresh from a dominant showing at the Asian Games, teenage track star Chen Yujie is balancing professional training for next year’s world championships with preparations for the national college entrance examinations, setting her sights on a local university.

Chris Waller concedes “it looks a tough ask” to beat Ka Ying Rising as Sydney’s leading trainer bids to dethrone the Hong Kong champion with a dual-pronged assault on Saturday’s Group One The Everest (1,200m) at Randwick. New Zealand-born Waller will saddle top sprinter Joliestar and Angel Capital in the A$20 million (HK$109.87 million) feature, but he rates Ka Ying Rising as clearly the horse to beat despite the prospect of an unsuitable wet track. A sensational winner of 21 consecutive races,...
South Korean FA condemns ‘personal attacks, criticism’ of players as attempt to sow discord
