**Dear Deriv Team,**

As an active P2P trader and service provider on Deriv, I have observed that while the platform offers a convenient peer‑to‑peer system, there is currently no official **“Verified P2P Agent”** status to distinguish trusted, high‑performing agents from new or unverified users.

Introducing such a system could significantly improve **user confidence, transaction speed, and platform safety**.

### **1. Current Challenge**

- New users often hesitate to trade with unfamiliar agents due to fear of scams or delays.

- There is no visible badge or status to indicate an agent’s proven track record, reliability, or compliance with Deriv’s rules.

- This lack of differentiation can slow down trades and reduce overall P2P activity.

- **2. Proposed Solution**

Hi @arsonic-adiated-2! Thank you for the detailed, actionable feedback! We’ve taken note of your suggestions and will use them to guide our next round of updates and prioritization. Your insights help us focus on what matters most, and we’ll follow up as improvements roll out or if we need any clarification. Please keep the ideas coming.

In the meantime, please note that there are certain things you can already take into account when you are doing a P2P order with another user.

_-Never release the funds without receiving the payment in your payment method account first._  
_-Only use the P2P chatbox to communicate with other parties._  
_-Do use the block feature and the user rating feature while transacting, if you wish to stop transacting with certain users._  
_-Do not click on any suspicious link or share your personal information._

We hope that helps!
