How to compare P2P crypto rates without chasing a fake best price
Price is only one part of a P2P deal. Limits, payment rails, merchant history and liquidity determine whether a quote is executable.

Start with executability
A headline quote should enter the comparison only when the requested amount fits the advertiser limits and the payment method is compatible with the user's route. Lumpascan therefore filters eligibility before ranking price.
- Match asset, fiat and BUY/SELL side.
- Check the requested amount against minimum and maximum limits.
- Filter to payment methods you can actually use.
- Confirm available crypto inventory when the provider exposes it.
Read merchant context next to price
Completion rate and trade count describe execution history; they do not guarantee a future order. They are useful precisely because a tiny price advantage can be less important than a materially stronger execution profile.
The exchange order is the final source of truth
P2P books move quickly. Re-check the final price, payment instructions, counterparty and platform timer immediately before sending funds.
