# Understanding Trading Limits and Verification on 0xramp

> How trading limits work on 0xramp, where they come from, and how to increase them by completing ZK-KYC verification through P2P.me.

Trading limits on 0xramp are not set by 0xramp — they come from your **on-chain reputation score on [P2P.me](https://p2p.me)**, the underlying liquidity protocol that powers the exchange. This means your limits are portable: they apply across every app built on P2P.me, and they grow as you build a verified track record.

## Default Limits for New Accounts

When you first use 0xramp, your account starts with conservative limits:

* **Buy limit**: zero until verification is completed or a sufficient order history is established.
* **Sell limit**: a modest starting allowance is available from the start — the exact figures are set by P2P.me and are shown in the in-app **Limits** page.

<Tip>
  Check the in-app **Limits** page for your current per-order and daily limits — they update in real time as your reputation changes.
</Tip>

These figures are set by P2P.me, not by 0xramp, and can change as the protocol evolves. Always refer to the **Limits** section inside the 0xramp app for the most accurate, up-to-date numbers.

## How to Increase Your Limits

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Limits page">
    Inside the [0xramp app](https://www.0xramp.app), navigate to the **Limits** section. You'll see your current per-order and daily limits, along with options to increase them.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete ZK-KYC verification">
    P2P.me offers **zero-knowledge KYC (ZK-KYC)** — a privacy-preserving identity verification process. Completing it proves that you meet the required identity standards without sharing your raw personal data with 0xramp or any other third party. This is the fastest way to unlock higher trading limits.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build order history">
    Completing successful trades contributes positively to your on-chain reputation over time. Even after verification, a growing trade history may further increase your limits as P2P.me's reputation system recognizes your activity.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What ZK-KYC Means

**ZK-KYC** stands for Zero-Knowledge Know Your Customer. It's an identity verification approach that uses cryptographic proofs to confirm that you meet an identity requirement — without ever revealing the underlying data.

In plain terms: P2P.me can verify that you are who you say you are, without 0xramp (or anyone else) ever seeing your passport number, date of birth, or any other personal details. The proof is generated and verified on-chain. Your data stays with you.

This is different from traditional KYC, where a copy of your documents is submitted to and stored by a centralized service. With ZK-KYC, verification happens without data exposure.

<Note>
  0xramp does not set or adjust your limits directly. If your limit is blocking a trade, complete verification through P2P.me in the app.
