Withdrawals
When you’re trading on SYMMIO, your funds sit inside the protocol rather than directly in your wallet. You can deposit in instantly and trade as much as you like, the only time there’s a delay is when you want to withdraw back out to your wallet (or to another EOA).
SYMMIO uses a 12-hour withdrawal cooldown. Once you request a withdrawal (after deallocating funds from your trading sub-accounts), those funds are locked for 12 hours before they can leave the system. You can think of this like the withdrawal delay on an optimistic rollup.
The reason for this is safety. If something goes wrong — a bug, a malicious solver, or an attack that tries to move funds out quickly — the cooldown gives the protocol’s monitoring and fraud-checking systems time to react. During that window, suspicious activity can be detected, users can be suspended and damage can be contained.
For normal traders, this just means:
You can trade instantly.
You can deposit instantly.
But when you withdraw, there is a 12-hour delay before the funds land back in your wallet.
Instant withdrawals via bridges
If you need funds right now, you don’t have to wait the full twelve hours yourself. Bridges offer fast/instant withdrawals.
The idea is:
You transfer funds to the bridge’s address inside SYMMIO.
The bridge transfers the same amount (minus a small fee) immediately.
The bridge then waits out the 12-hour cooldown on your behalf and receives the funds later.
From your perspective, it feels like an instant withdrawal with a small service fee, while the cooldown and risk are handled by the bridge.
