What is a Discord Middleman, and How Does It Work?
The problem middlemen solve
Digital trades have a chicken-and-egg problem. If the buyer pays first, the seller can run. If the seller delivers first, the buyer can run. Middlemen sit in the middle and hold the money until both sides confirm.
Manual vs automatic middleman
Manual middlemen are humans — slower, sometimes biased, sometimes asleep. Automatic middlemen are bots that hold cryptocurrency in escrow and release it the moment the buyer confirms. Same protection, no waiting.
How Ligit's Exon middleman works
1) Trade opens in a ticket. 2) Exon generates an LTC escrow address. 3) Buyer sends LTC. 4) Seller delivers. 5) Buyer types 'release'. 6) Exon sends LTC to the seller — usually within seconds.
Why 0% fees on LTC
Litecoin transactions are dirt-cheap. Ligit eats the network fee on Litecoin so middleman is genuinely free. Other coins have small passthroughs because their fees aren't as low.
