Peer-to-peer item exchanges between members

How trading works

The trades system is built for flexibility and fairness.

🤝

Fully peer-to-peer

Trade directly with any member — no middlemen, no waiting.

🔄

Counter-offers supported

Negotiate back and forth until both sides are happy.

🪙

Mix coins and items

Include Vibe Coins on either side to balance uneven trades.

⚡

Instant transfer

Accepted trades settle immediately — no delays or processing time.

Sending a trade offer

How to propose a trade with another member.

Go to Trades

Navigate to /trades from the top navigation or The Lab dropdown. You'll see your active incoming and outgoing trade offers.

Create a new trade offer

Click New Trade and select the items you're offering. Then add the items you're requesting from the other party. You can trade companions, skins, and Vibe Coins in any combination.

Select a recipient

Enter the username of the member you want to trade with. You can trade with anyone on the platform — no need to be Discord friends first.

Add an optional message

Include a short message with your offer if you want to explain your reasoning or propose a negotiation.

Send the offer

Review your offer summary and confirm. The recipient will be notified and the offer will appear in their Trades inbox.

Receiving a trade offer

How to review and respond to incoming offers.

Check your Trades inbox

Open /trades to see all pending offers sent to you. Each offer shows what's being offered and what's being requested.

Review the details

Click on a trade to see the full breakdown — companion stats, skin rarity, coin amounts, and any message from the sender.

Accept, decline, or counter

Accept if you're happy with the terms. Decline to reject and close the offer. Counter to propose modified terms — your counteroffer will appear in the sender's inbox.

Items transfer on acceptance

Once both sides accept, items are swapped instantly. Both parties receive a confirmation and their inventories update immediately.
