Binance added that the feature is optional and there would be no impact to users who choose not to use it.
The Self-Trade Prevention (STP) function will block the execution of orders that would result in a self-trade, an activity in which users trade with each other in order to create the illusion of there being more activity than there actually is. Self-trading is therefore considered a form of market manipulation.
Binance API is the exchange's service allowing other trading firm's to connect to Binance's servers, getting access to market data and enabling trades.
