Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about buying and selling crypto peer-to-peer on Peer — payment apps, chains, currencies, fees, timing, and privacy.
What is Peer?
Peer is a peer-to-peer crypto onramp and offramp. You can buy crypto using payment apps like Venmo, PayPal, Revolut, and CashApp, or sell crypto back to fiat. It's permissionless, non-custodial, you control your funds, and it works without middlemen.
How does Peer work?
Connect via wallet, email, or socials, choose an offer, and send payment through your preferred app (Venmo, PayPal, Revolut, CashApp, etc.). Peer uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify your payment without exposing personal data. Once verified, crypto is released directly to your wallet.
What payment methods does Peer support?
Peer supports Venmo, PayPal, Revolut, CashApp, Wise, Monzo, Chime, Zelle, and Mercado Pago. More payment methods are added regularly.
What chains does Peer support?
Peer is built on Base and supports bridging to Solana, Hyperliquid, Ethereum, and 20+ other chains.
What currencies does Peer support?
Peer supports 24 currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD, CHF, MXN, ARS, and more.
How long does a Peer transaction take?
After sending payment, you'll receive crypto in 2-5 minutes. This includes proof generation, verification, and on-chain release. Bridging to other chains adds 1-2 minutes.
What are Peer's fees?
Peer applies up to a 0.95% base taker service fee to orders, reduced by taker-tier discounts. If you bridge to another chain, a 0.5% bridge fee also applies.
Is my payment data private?
Yes. Zero-knowledge proofs verify your payment without exposing personal data. Only the amount, recipient, and timestamp are shared; no bank details, transaction history, or personal information.
Does Peer require identity verification?
No additional verification is required. You connect a wallet and use your existing payment apps. Peer uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify transactions while keeping your data private.
What are the order limits?
Order limits are based on your Taker Tier, which increases as you complete more orders. Limits range from $100 to $10,000 depending on your tier.
