Bitget P2P Introduction
Understanding P2P (Peer-to-Peer)
Definition
A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a system where computers (called peers or nodes) share resources directly without needing a central server. In the context of cryptocurrencies, P2P exchanges let individuals buy and sell crypto directly with each other, without relying on an intermediary.
How Does Bitget P2P Work?
Bitget P2P (Peer-to-Peer) is a platform where Bitget users can buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly with each other, using local currencies. This system allows users to trade on their own terms, including setting prices, choosing payment methods, and deciding when to settle trades.
Listing and Matching
A seller creates a deal with their preferred price to trade their crypto at and publish it on Bitget P2P marketplace. This broadcasted deal is called an “advertisement”. The buyer finds the advertisement at their preferred price and places the order to buy.
Escrow Service
To ensure the security of the transaction, the cryptocurrency is usually held in an escrow service by Bitget P2P. This means that when the seller confirms the trade, the cryptocurrency is temporarily locked until the transaction is completed.
Payment Processing
The buyer makes the payment directly to the seller using the agreed-upon method (e.g., bank transfer, e-wallet).
Release of Funds
Once the seller confirms that they have received the payment, the escrow service releases the cryptocurrency to the buyer’s account.
