# Key Features of Messier P2P Exchange

* Tokens are transferred directly between the buyer and seller and held in a decentralized treasury until completion.
* For added security, newly received tokens can only be withdrawn by the wallets involved after the swap is completed.

**Customizable Listing Durations and Full Control**\
Create a P2P swap order tailored to your timeline, from 24 or 48 hours to indefinite periods. If it doesn’t complete, you can cancel it at any time and retrieve your tokens.

**Decentralized and Secure Transactions**\
Each P2P swap on the exchange platform is backed by smart contracts, with funds held in a decentralized treasury until completion. This ensures safety, transparency, and independence from intermediaries, embodying the core values of DeFi.

**Multi-Swap Option**\
The Multi-Swap option allows multiple buyers to purchase portions of your order. This can be an effective way to achieve faster order fulfillment, especially for larger amounts.<br>

**Private Swaps**\
For those looking for more control over their token swaps, the Messier P2P Exchange offers a private swap option. This feature allows you to share a unique invite code, providing exclusive access to your swap offer on the platform.<br>

**Token Listings and Safety Checks**

Listings are **permissionless**: anyone can create a P2P pool for any token in two clicks, with no pool-creation fee (see Permissionless Token Listings).

To help you pick the right token and avoid scams, the exchange:

* lets you search tokens by ticker or contract address, so you can confirm the exact contract;
* runs an **audit scan** that flags blacklist functions, honeypots, proxy contracts and other risks;
* screens deposits with **MistTrack** and automatically refunds risky ones.

Always double-check a token's contract address before trading.

**Beyond the Basics (V4.0)**

* **Six networks** and **cross-chain swaps**: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Solana, Avalanche and Robinhood Chain.
* **RWA markets** for commodities and tokenized stocks.
* **Pro/Lite modes**, **TradingView charts** and **PWA** mobile install.
* **Private InterLink withdrawals** and **tax report export**.
