One pair. Two networks.
Qlyphs OTC is a peer-to-peer order book for QTC, the native coin of Quantus, against USDC on Arbitrum One. Traders choose their price and trade directly with one another. Offers can be filled in full or in part.
QTC moves through a platform-controlled escrow wallet. USDC moves directly from the buyer to the seller. The trade room brings the two sides together with payment instructions, confirmation counts and transaction links.
Understand custody before you begin
Qlyphs holds the keys to your QTC wallet and the escrow wallet. This is a custodial service: settlement rules are enforced by the platform’s software. The platform has not been audited and deposited QTC is at risk if it is compromised.
Exporting your recovery phrase does not remove the platform’s copy. Read Custody & transparency before depositing.
