What is T+N (Security protection for buying crypto via P2P)?
T+N refers to a security protection mechanism for cryptocurrency purchases. When you buy crypto through P2P on the platform, the system performs a comprehensive risk assessment of the transaction. Based on this assessment, it may temporarily restrict the withdrawal, P2P resale and DEX trading will be unavailable for the affected assets. The N in T+N is the number of days the restriction lasts:
