## What is the Trade Status Board?

The Trade Status Board is a community-wide dashboard showing active and recent trades across SwapPulse. It gives you a live sense of what's being traded, shipping progress, and recently completed swaps, without exposing private negotiation details.

## What you can see

* **Active trades:** Trades currently being negotiated or awaiting shipment.
* **Shipping status:** Whether cards have been sent, received, or are in transit.
* **Recently completed:** Finished trades, useful for seeing what the community is swapping.
* **Trade counts:** Aggregate activity metrics for the community.

## Shipping status

Trade participants update shipping status as cards move: prepared, sent, received. The Status Board reflects these updates so the community can see trade progress at a glance. Only the two trading parties see the full private thread and addresses.

## Privacy

The Status Board shows trade summaries (cards involved, status, participants) but never private negotiation messages, addresses, or tracking numbers. Those stay in your private trade thread.

## Tips

* Use the Status Board to find active traders before posting your own listing.
* Completed trades contribute to both parties' reputation and trust scores.
