So what is Vexl anyway?

September 11, 2024

It's an app where you can easily buy and sell Bitcoin so you can replace all those centralized KYC exchanges cluttering your phone. It's a marketplace where people can easily list their offers to buy and sell bitcoin, but also offer goods and services. It's a “Tinder” for p2p Bitcoiners to meet like-minded people in your area.

Welcome to the new, upgraded Vexl.

From the very early days, the marketplace took off, and we saw people doing what they do best, taking a tool and making it their own. It quickly filled up with offers for all kinds of goods and services, buzzing with activity. We were happy that people were using our app, but on the other hand it was obvious that we needed to sort out the mess in the growing marketplace. How?

Categories.

This was not something we originally planned for and it meant that we had to make numerous changes to our UI (the main page, creating new offers, and filters.)

We had to come up with better wording that would suit those changes. We’ve added some extra words to make it easier.

Changes of UI.

In March 2024, we finally made it happen–transforming the marketplace for everyone.

Bitcoin heaven was now just one tap away, thanks to five simple categories that made it all possible and redefined what was possible with Vexl.

Now, 4 months later you already know what happened. Local circular economies are thriving, with no signs of slowing down. Take a look at some of the most unique offers so far and get inspired.

You can find all kinds of things with Vexl–your IT consultant one day and kettlebells the next.
