What is P2P?
A P2P (peer-to-peer) cryptocurrency exchange allows users to set up and directly trade with one another. While the role of an intermediary is greatly reduced in peer-to-peer trades, typically the P2P exchange itself will look to match buyers with sellers and ensure the security of the transaction. Compared to centralized trading platforms, peer-to-peer platforms might offer greater number of payment options and reduced fees, but the liquidity is generally lower and trading speed slower as well.

Through an Advertisement, users can post the price they would like to trade their crypto at and publish it on our platform.

What is a Release?
When a buyer has paid the seller, and the seller has confirmed that the payment is received, the seller releases the crypto from escrow to the buyer.
What is an Appeal?
When there is a dispute between buyer and seller, and a user would like the platform to arbitrate, then an appeal can be filed. The crypto involved in the trade will stay locked during the process.
How to Cancel an Appeal?
When orders are Expired (failed to be processed within payment time) or Completed or Canceled, users can initiate an appeal/dispute from order details page.
After filing an appeal, the user who started the appeal can cancel the appeal if the agreement is reached between the parties and arbitration is no longer needed. The order will return to the state where it is waiting for confirmation from the seller to release the crypto. The crypto will stay locked until the seller has confirmed the receipt of payment.
