How Escrow Protects Your Money

Safety comes first when trading crypto. PRAQEN uses an automatic escrow system for every trade:

When you start a trade to buy Bitcoin, the seller’s BTC is locked in escrow.
The seller cannot cancel or withdraw the Bitcoin while the trade is active.
After you send payment via MTN MoMo, Vodafone Cash, or AirtelTigo and click "I Have Paid", the seller checks their wallet.
Once confirmed, the Bitcoin releases directly into your account.
