When you receive Bitcoin, it’s important to understand that the funds are not instantly spendable. After a Bitcoin transaction is initiated, it is transmitted across the Bitcoin network. To become fully validated and irreversible, this transaction must be incorporated into a block on the blockchain.
The act of including a transaction within a verified block is referred to as a confirmation. Each subsequent block added to the blockchain containing your transaction counts as an additional confirmation.
For operational security, please be aware that our service mandates a minimum of 2 confirmations from the Bitcoin network before your exchange request can be fully processed and completed
