GroupHug - tldr
What is GroupHug?
GroupHug is Peach's homemade batching system that combines multiple Bitcoin trades into a single blockchain transaction. Instead of processing each trade separately (which would be expensive), we wait and bundle trades together—like carpooling instead of everyone driving alone.
Key aspects :
- transactions are grouped together every 24 hours max
- lower fees for users
- no additional privacy
Here's how it benefits you:
Lower fees - By sharing the transaction overhead with other traders, you pay significantly less in network fees than if your trade went through alone.
Same security - Your funds are still protected by our 2-of-2 escrow system. GroupHug only changes when the transaction is broadcast, not how secure it is.
How it works - Once a day, we batch all pending trades into one transaction. Each trade gets its own input and output in that transaction, plus we collect our 2% fee. Think of it like a bus route—everyone gets on at different stops, travels together efficiently, and gets off at their own destination.
Want it faster? - If you need your Bitcoin immediately, you can opt out of GroupHug and request an instant payout. For this go to settings > transaction batching > tun the toggle off. You'll just pay the full network fee yourself instead of sharing it with others. This will also hurt our revenue.
The result: Most users save money while we keep the Bitcoin network less congested. Win-win!
