Trade tokens securely on Whales Market, a decentralized OTC platform supporting Solana and Ethereum. Enjoy pre-market transactions with smart contract safety.
About Whales Market
Whales Market is a decentralized platform designed for over-the-counter (OTC) trading and pre-market transactions. It supports various blockchains, including Solana and Ethereum, allowing users to trade assets directly with each other without the need for intermediaries.
Whales Market facilitates the buying and selling of tokens before their official release and enables secure OTC trades of crypto points and airdrop allocations. By using smart contracts, the platform ensures that all transactions are secure, trustless, and transparent. Users can trade with confidence, knowing their assets are protected against fraud.
What makes Whales Market special?
A trust-minimized flow for pre-launch exposure. Settlement rules are explicit: when a project’s token goes live, a four-hour settlement window opens. If a seller fails to deliver within the window, the buyer can cancel and receive compensation from the seller’s collateral—fully enforced by the smart contract.
Whales Market has undergone third-party audits (PeckShield) for both Solana and EVM contracts.
