Peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms let you buy Solana directly from other individuals, often with far less stringent identity requirements than centralized exchanges. Options such as LocalCrypto, HodlHodl, and MEXC P2P are popular for low-KYC or no-KYC SOL trades.
In a P2P trade, you negotiate terms directly with the seller. Many P2P sellers accept cash, bank transfer, gift cards, or local payment methods without requiring you to submit identity documents to the platform. Escrow systems protect both parties during the transaction.
Try P2P marketplaces like LocalCrypto or HodlHodl — they often have low-KYC options.

MEXC's P2P marketplace is another option that allows purchases directly from individuals. While P2P platforms offer greater privacy, it is important to choose sellers with strong reputations and high completion rates to reduce the risk of fraud.
How to Stay Safe on P2P Markets
Always use the platform's built-in escrow to protect your funds. Only release SOL after confirming receipt of payment. Read seller reviews carefully and choose verified traders. Never send funds outside the platform's escrow system. Start with small amounts when trading with new counterparties.
