 # P2P Protocol
 
+**Type:** Company  
+**Domain:** Entertainment  
+**Status:** Active  
+**Founded:** ~2024  
+**Founder:** Sheldon  
+
 ## Overview
 
-P2P Protocol is a stablecoin-based payment infrastructure enabling local currency to stablecoin conversion across multiple countries. The protocol operates on major real-time payment systems including UPI (India), PIX (Brazil), and QRIS (Indonesia).
+P2P Protocol is a peer-to-peer platform that raised capital through MetaDAO's permissioned launchpad structure. The company attracted attention in July 2025 when its founder placed bets on Polymarket predicting the ICO would reach $6M in commits, creating a conflict of interest controversy.
 
-## Business Model
+## Business Metrics
 
-The protocol uses a "Circles of Trust" model where local operators stake capital, recruit merchants, and earn 0.2% of monthly volume their circle handles. This creates permissionless geographic expansion without requiring centralized team deployment.
+- **Monthly Volume:** $4M (as of July 2025)
+- **Growth Rate:** 27% MoM over 16 months
+- **Revenue:** $550K yearly run rate
+- **Fundraise Target:** $6M in commits
 
-## Products
+## Founder Background
 
-- **Coins.me**: Crypto neo-bank built on P2P Protocol offering USD-denominated stablecoin savings (5-10% yield through Morpho), on/off-ramp, global send/receive, cross-chain bridging, token swaps, and scan-to-pay functionality.
+Sheldon previously built and exited a food delivery business that reached $2M in run rate before being acquired by a large Indian food delivery app.
