To effectively prevent risks such as telecom fraud and illegal money laundering, and to safeguard user asset security and maintain a compliant, healthy trading environment, Gate P2P has introduced the "T+N" Asset Security Protection Mechanism.
I. What is the "T+N" Security Protection Mechanism?
The "T+N" security protection mechanism (including T+1 and T+3) means that after a user completes a fiat purchase of assets via P2P, the equivalent crypto assets obtained from the purchase (or profits generated from trading these assets) will remain under security protection for a specified timeframe (N days, i.e., 24 hours or 72 hours).
- T+1 Protection Period: Withdrawals and internal transfers are restricted for 24 hours from the completion of the P2P order.
- T+3 Protection Period: Withdrawals and internal transfers are restricted for 72 hours from the completion of the P2P order.
II. Scope of Feature Restrictions During the Protection Period
During the "T+N" security protection period:
- Restricted Operations: Assets under protection cannot be used for on-chain withdrawals or internal transfers/fund transfers.
- Unrestricted Operations: Standard trading and investment functions on the platform—including spot trading, futures trading, earn products, and stock trading—are completely unaffected. You may freely trade with these assets within the platform.
III. Common Reasons for Triggering the "T+N" Mechanism
To protect the security of funds for both buyers and sellers, the system may automatically trigger "T+N" protection when the following circumstances are detected:
- Initial Trades by New Users: Accounts with short registration history or those making P2P purchases for the first time or recently.
- Large-Amount or Frequent Trades: Completing high-value or high-frequency P2P buy orders within a short period.
- Account Risk Control: Recent changes to critical security settings, logins from different locations, or other risk alerts on the account.
IV. How to Check My Asset Protection Status?
If your assets trigger "T+N" protection, a notification prompt will pop up when attempting an on-chain withdrawal or internal transfer, clearly displaying the countdown time for asset unlock. Once the protection period expires, the restrictions will automatically be lifted without requiring manual application.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Why do others not have T+N restriction while my buy order is restricted?
A1: The system comprehensively evaluates account security levels and trading environments. Different accounts or transactions may trigger different levels of security protection (T+1 or T+3). This is a standard risk control measure to ensure fund safety.
Q2: What if I have an urgent withdrawal need?
A2: The security protection period is an automated system risk control mechanism and cannot be manually lifted in advance. We recommend waiting patiently based on the countdown displayed on the page or planning your funds and withdrawal arrangements ahead of time.
