p2p.me
Type: Peer-to-peer fiat onramp protocol
Status: Active
Domain: domains/internet-finance/_map
Overview
p2p.me is a decentralized peer-to-peer fiat onramp protocol that uses zkTLS proofs to verify identity and payment confirmations over legacy payment rails. The protocol enables users to onramp to stablecoins without centralized intermediaries by cryptographically attesting to fiat payments over systems like UPI (India), PIX (Brazil), QRIS (Indonesia), and others.
Technical Architecture
- zkTLS Proofs: Cryptographic verification of ID and payment confirmations over fiat rails
- Circles of Trust: Segregated liquidity and transfer limits that build reputation state over time to minimize fraud risk
- Multi-jurisdiction Support: Launched in India (UPI), Brazil (PIX), Indonesia (QRIS), Argentina, Mexico, with Venezuela planned
Business Model
- Regional GM Model: Uber-style approach with country leads/ops/community managers for each market
- Token Vesting: Country leads receive tokens that vest against volume milestones, aligning incentives with market launch complexity
- Fee Tiers: Multiple fee tiers across different transaction sizes and risk profiles
Market Position
Targets the fiat onramp problem in emerging markets where capital controls, opaque market structures, and high fraud rates create structural barriers. Addresses the <10% median conversion rate that application developers cite as their biggest challenge in user acquisition.
Governance
Launched through MetaDAO's futarchy-governed ICO platform. All IP, assets, and mint authority gradually transfer from the existing entity structure to the on-chain treasury with ownership and governance transferred to tokenholders.
