FAQ
Q1: How long does it take for my USDT deposit to arrive?
A: Deposit times vary depending on the blockchain network selected. Most deposits are credited within 10-30 minutes after receiving sufficient network confirmations. During periods of network congestion, deposits may take longer.
Q2: What should I do if I selected the wrong network for my USDT deposit?
A: If you selected an incorrect network, your funds may be lost and cannot be recovered. Contact Gate Customer Support immediately with your transaction details. However, recovery is not guaranteed if the network was incompatible.
Q3: What is the difference between a limit order and a market order?
A: A limit order allows you to set a specific price at which you want to buy, and the order will only execute if the market reaches that price. A market order executes immediately at the current market price, ensuring a quick transaction but without price certainty.
Q4: Can I cancel my order after placing it?
A: Yes, you can cancel unfilled or partially filled limit orders at any time before they are fully executed. Market orders typically execute immediately and cannot be cancelled once submitted.
