# Introduction

ZelTrade is a cross-server trade plugin, designed to make item exchanges between players on different servers seamless.

The plugin is also **proxy-less**, meaning it doesn't require any additional proxy plugins

ZelTrade has a **cache and a database.**\
\
**The cache** is for the currently running trades, so the trades are not yet completed.\
\
Inside the **database**, we find the archived trades, indexed by their UUIDs and the timestamp in which they were created

ZelTrade is also **built for scalability**, making it the **perfect choice for large and growing servers** that require a reliable and efficient chat system
