Zano Trade requires no user registration and uses an on-chain order matching system to facilitate [Ionic Swaps](https://docs.zano.org/docs/learn/frequently-asked-questions#what-are-ionic-swaps) between native Zano and the Confidential Assets. It is impossible to see what asset type, amount, or address was involved in the transaction. + +## How to use + +1. Zano Trade, like all Zano dApps, requires using Zano Companion, [click here](https://docs.zano.org/docs/use/companion) if you haven't set it up already. + +2. Once your Companion is ready (make sure to have your desktop wallet open and unlocked) head to [trade.zano.org](http://trade.zano.org) and click "Connect Wallet". + +3. On the first time, a popup will appear on the Companion to authorize the connection, click "Accept". + +
+ +
+ +4. To do a trade, search and select the desired trading pair. + + If multiple tokens under the same/similar name exist, make sure to check their unique Asset ID. + +
+ +
+ +5. Now you can either post a buy/sell order or take an existing one. + + ### Create an order + + For this example, we will be buying "ZNOPP" tokens: + + **Price:** How much of the base pair (in this case, ZANO) do we want to pay per unit of ZNOOP? + + **Amount:** How many tokens do we want to acquire at this price? + + Click "Buy" to post the order. + +
+ +
+ + ### Take an order + + For this example, we'll be selling "ZNOOP" tokens: + + Scroll down to see the order book + + Since we are happy with receiving 0.01 ZANO per token, we'll proceed to click "Take Order" + +
+ +
+ +This will take us back above and automatically set the fields for our sell order, simply click "Sell". + +
+ +
+ +### Complete the trade + +Scroll down to see your list of pending orders. + +
+ +
+ +Since our order matches the one from @Timmy03, all that is left to do is click "Apply". + +This will open Zano Companion, prompting us to confirm the trade. + +
+ +
+ +Now we wait for @Timmy03 to apply our order in the same way we just did. + +
+ +
+ +And that's it! We just completed a peer-to-peer trade, made possible by Zano's Ionic Swaps, preserving our privacy across the whole process.
