Secure Peer-to-Peer Crypto Trading with Escrow

Overview

In a secure P2P trade, escrow holds crypto, you pay as instructed, and release happens after seller confirmation. Keep chat and proofs on-platform to resolve disputes.

What escrow is and how it works

• When you start a trade, seller crypto is locked in escrow.
• You pay off-chain per the offer instructions.
• The seller confirms payment and the platform releases crypto.
• If there's a conflict, open a dispute and provide proofs in chat.

Steps of a secure trade

1. Search offers by crypto, payment method, and country.
2. Read terms and limits; clarify questions in chat.
3. Pay as instructed and click "I've paid".
4. Wait for confirmation and escrow release.

Safety checklist

• Keep chat, proofs and agreements on-platform.
• Do not share sensitive data or move to off-platform channels.
• Verify reputation, limits and time windows before you start.
• Start small until you're confident.

Fees and timing

Fees depend on payment rails and spreads; timing varies by bank/wallet. Review visible costs before confirming.
