* 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* For added security, newly received tokens can only be withdrawn by the wallets involved after the swap is completed.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.

#### Token Verification and Liquidity Requirements

Currently, only tokens that meet the following criteria are tradable on the platform:

* The token should have sufficient liquidity to initiate swaps on DEX.
* It should be verified on Etherscan, CoinGecko, or CoinMarketCap.

These requirements help maintain a secure and user-friendly platform by minimizing duplicates and scams, making it easier for users to identify the correct token.
