How does GatSwap prevent fraud?

The systems GatSwap uses to detect and prevent fraud.

GatSwap has several layers of fraud prevention built into the platform:

  • Identity verification: Every trading user is KYC verified, making anonymous fraud much harder.
  • AI image moderation: Listing photos are analyzed for stock images, illegal modifications, and inconsistencies.
  • Message monitoring: In-app messages are scanned for patterns consistent with fraud (off-platform deal attempts, etc.).
  • FFL verification: All FFLs are verified against ATF records before being added to the network.
  • Escrow for boot payments: Cash doesn't move directly between parties — it's held until both transfers confirm.

If you're ever asked to complete a deal outside of GatSwap, that's a red flag. All legitimate GatSwap trades go through the app's structured flow.
