Arb Bot Protection

Arb bots are pesky parasites that plague almost all of DeFi, including OTC platforms. Generally, they scan created orders while comparing the order price to the Uniswap price, then fill the order and immediately dump the tokens on Jupiter swap.

This undermines one of the OTC platform's selling points: allowing users to utilize peer-to-peer trades to mitigate unnecessary dumps on the chart. While order creators still get their orders filled, the benefit of protecting the charts is lost.

To address this issue, orders now have a configurable option to delay token release, preventing bots (and users) from instantly flipping tokens after filling orders. With the delay enabled, purchased tokens remain locked for 5 minutes before becoming claimable.

The tokens are claimable in the purchasing user's Activity page.

"Delayed" can be enabled or disabled upon order creation, unless the partnered token project has enforced delay for all orders containing their respective token.
