1. Platform Overview

chainskins.net is a peer-to-peer (P2P) platform designed to facilitate the buying and selling of CS2 skins through cryptocurrency transactions executed via smart contracts.

• Private keys are stored exclusively in the user's crypto wallet extension (e.g., MetaMask, Phantom) and never transmitted to or stored by chainskins.net.
• All cryptographic signing of transactions and smart contracts occurs client-side within the user's wallet extension. chainskins.net does not have access to, nor the ability to use, users' private keys.

3. Smart Contract Transactions

• All trades facilitated on chainskins.net are executed through multisignature smart contracts requiring signatures from both buyer and seller, as well as chainskins.net acting as a validator or co-signer.
