Choose the correct rail
Two products. Two different jobs.
Trustless is an ecosystem of payment tools, not a single checkout button. Start by matching the agreement to the correct enforcement system.
Conditional settlement
Trustless Enforcer
Use objective token conditions, target market capitalization and expiry rules for automated release or refund through the Enforcer.
Explore the Enforcer →
The simple rule: use Trustless Network when work is
delivered and reviewed by people. Use the Enforcer when settlement depends
on a defined measurable condition.
Before money moves
Start with the agreement—not the transaction.
On-chain payments are final. A clean contract begins with clear scope, correct wallet addresses and terms both parties understand before funding.
-
Use a compatible XRPL wallet
Connect through the supported wallet flow. Your public XRPL address identifies you; never share a seed phrase or private key. -
Build your Network identity
Add a display name, title, biography and profile image so counterparties can understand who they are dealing with. -
Define the work precisely
Record the deliverable, XRP amount, delivery window, review period, included revisions and milestone structure. -
Verify the counterparty
Confirm the public profile and XRPL address independently. A familiar name or profile image is not proof of wallet ownership. -
Read the funding instructions
Amount, destination address, Destination Tag and Memo may all matter. Copy them from the active contract rather than from chat.
Trustless Network
From discovery to settled work.
Trustless Network combines public identity, work discovery and structured escrow. The contract becomes the shared source of truth.
Profiles
A profile connects reputation and activity to an XRPL address. Confirm the address before entering an agreement.
Open Account →Signals
Signals publish offers, requests and opportunities. Search by category, inspect the author and move serious terms into a contract.
Browse Signals →Contracts
Set the parties, XRP amount, deadlines, review rules, revisions and optional milestones before funding begins.
Create Contract →Workrooms
Funded agreements move into an active workroom containing the current milestone, enforcement clock, participant roles and recorded actions.
View Active Work →Bulletin
Use the contract bulletin for delivery notes, status updates and operational records. Keep important evidence attached to the deal.
Resolved agreements
Completed, refunded, cancelled and expired contracts move out of the active queue while preserving the final state.
View Resolved →Identity and discovery
Profiles and Signals create the social layer.
Trustless Network is more than an XRP escrow form. It is a social escrow platform where wallet identity, public opportunities, structured agreements and settlement history live in one connected workflow.
Create a profile tied to an XRPL wallet
Connect the XRPL address you want to use as your Network identity. Add a name, professional title, biography and profile image so clients, freelancers and operators can understand who is behind the wallet.
The wallet address is the durable identity layer. Display names and images provide context, but users should still verify the complete address before entering or funding a contract.
Create your Trustless Network profile →Use the public profile as a trust surface
A public profile can connect an XRPL address with Signals, completed activity and reputation. This gives counterparties more information than a disposable username in a chat room.
Share the profile link when discussing work so the other party can inspect the same identity that will appear in the contract.
Publish a Signal
A Signal is a public opportunity post. Freelancers can advertise a service, clients can describe work they need and operators can surface useful offers to the Network.
Use a specific title, accurate category, clear scope, realistic price range and useful image. A Signal should help the right counterparty self-select before a contract conversation begins.
Create a Signal on Trustless Network →Browse and evaluate Signals
Search the Signal board by subject or category. Open the author’s profile, inspect the connected wallet identity and ask questions before moving the opportunity into an escrow agreement.
A Signal starts discovery. It is not itself a funded contract or a guarantee that either party will perform.
Browse freelance Signals →
Social discovery leads to structured settlement:
profile → Signal → conversation → contract draft → verified funding →
active Workroom → resolved agreement → review.
Create an XRP escrow agreement
Turn the conversation into contract rules.
A Trustless Network contract records who is involved, what must be delivered, how much XRP is committed, when work is due, how review operates and what happens when the agreement resolves.
Client and provider
Confirm the wallet address occupying each side of the agreement. The client funds the work. The provider completes the defined deliverable.
Scope and deliverable
Describe the result clearly enough that both parties can recognize whether the milestone has been delivered. Avoid relying on private chat messages to supply essential terms.
XRP amount
Set the value attached to the full agreement or individual milestones. Confirm whether the amount displayed is the intended commitment before preparing funding.
Delivery period
Choose a realistic work window. The deadline should reflect the actual assignment rather than an optimistic promise made to close the deal.
Review and revision rules
Define how long the client has to review delivery, how long the provider has to complete an allowed revision and how many revisions are included.
Milestones
Break larger projects into independently understandable pieces. Milestone escrow limits exposure and creates visible checkpoints for delivery, review and settlement.
Quick contract templates
Start with sensible defaults. Then verify every term.
Quick templates reduce setup friction for common freelance work. Selecting a template does not remove your responsibility to confirm the scope, payment, deadlines and revision policy before funding.
| Template | Delivery | Review | Revision | Included revisions | Useful for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Graphic Design | 7 days | 72 hours | 72 hours | 1 | Logos, social assets, banners and defined design deliverables. |
| Image Editing | 3 days | 48 hours | 48 hours | 1 | Retouching, cleanup, compositing and image modifications. |
| Video Short | 5 days | 72 hours | 72 hours | 1 | Short-form videos with an agreed duration and export format. |
| Copywriting | 5 days | 72 hours | 72 hours | 1 | Landing-page copy, posts, emails and defined written assets. |
| Proofreading | 3 days | 48 hours | 48 hours | 1 | Corrections to supplied text without changing the assignment. |
| Virtual Assistant | 5 days | 48 hours | 48 hours | 0 | A specific administrative task with a measurable completion point. |
| Custom Escrow | 7 days | 72 hours | 72 hours | 1 | Work that does not fit a preset category. |
Template values are starting points. Read the values shown in the live contract form because product defaults can evolve.
Draft · Active · Resolved
Know where every agreement stands.
Trustless Network separates contracts by operational state so users can distinguish proposed terms from funded work and completed history.
Drafts
Drafts contain proposed agreement terms that have not yet become an active funded contract. Review the parties, scope, amount, deadlines, revisions and milestones before preparing payment.
A shareable draft allows both sides to inspect the same proposed deal. A draft is not proof that XRP has been deposited.
View contract drafts →Awaiting funding
The agreement has reached the payment stage and displays the transaction details required for verification. Follow those exact instructions and wait for the contract to recognize the ledger event.
Active
Verified funding moves the agreement into active work. The Workroom shows the current milestone, enforcement clock, participant seat and available actions.
View active contracts →Resolved
Completed, refunded, cancelled and expired contracts leave the active queue and move into resolved history. The final state explains how the agreement ended.
View resolved contracts →
Important: “draft,” “awaiting funding” and “active” are
not interchangeable. Always confirm the status shown by the contract
before beginning work or assuming funds are committed.
The active Workroom
The deal has a room—and a clock on the wall.
After funding is verified, the Workroom becomes the operational center of the agreement. It keeps the current milestone, enforcement timing, participant roles and recorded actions visible in one place.
Current Milestone
Shows the deliverable currently being worked, reviewed, revised or settled. Larger contracts advance through one milestone at a time.
Enforcement Clock
Shows how much time remains in the current phase. Delivery, review and revision windows have consequences when they expire. The clock turns contract rules into an operating deadline.
Your Seat
Identifies your role and the actions available to you. A client, provider, observer or participant occupying more than one role should not assume every control is available in every state.
Bulletin Board
The Bulletin is the contract’s shared operational record. Use it for delivery notes, links, status updates, revision details and other information that belongs with the agreement.
Extension requests
An eligible provider can request one bounded extension for a milestone. The client can grant or deny it, and the decision is recorded with the contract rather than left as an informal promise.
Release and cancellation controls
Available actions depend on the current milestone and contract state. Read the displayed consequence before releasing value, cancelling remaining work or taking another terminal action.
The Bulletin adds evidence and context; it does not silently rewrite the
funded contract. If the interface provides a formal action, use that
action rather than relying only on a message.
Reviews and wallet reputation
Completed work becomes more than a claim.
Trustless Network connects reputation to the wallet identity used in agreements. That creates continuity between public identity, contract participation, completed work and reviews.
Reviews follow resolution
After an eligible agreement completes, participants can review the counterparty. Reviews belong after real contract activity—not before a deal has produced evidence.
Reputation is attached to the wallet identity
A wallet-based profile is harder to treat as a disposable marketplace username. Users can bring the same public identity into Signals, contracts and future relationships.
Read the underlying context
A rating is a signal, not an oracle. Consider the number of resolved agreements, the kind of work performed, written feedback and whether the wallet address matches the proposed contract.
Build reputation through execution
Clear Signals, realistic promises, documented delivery, timely review and clean settlement create stronger evidence than follower counts or unverifiable testimonials.
Proof over promises: social identity helps people find
each other; funded contracts and resolved work give reputation something
concrete to stand on.

Beginner’s Guide to Crypto Escrow
Learn the basic concepts before creating or funding an agreement.
Contract lifecycle
The rules keep moving when people go quiet.
Each agreement progresses through explicit states. Review the live contract for its exact deadlines because the enforcement clock—not a private message—controls the next action.
-
Draft or created
Terms are assembled and can be reviewed before any XRP is sent. -
Awaiting funding
The system provides the required payment details. The contract is not active merely because someone claims to have paid. -
Funded and active
Payment verification starts the active agreement and its enforcement timeline from the recorded ledger event. -
Work phase
The provider completes the current deliverable within the agreed delivery window and records delivery in the contract workflow. -
Review or revision
The client reviews the submitted work. If revision rights remain, the contract can enter a defined revision window. -
Release, refund or cancellation
The contract resolves according to the recorded actions, milestone state and enforcement rules. -
Completed and rated
The resolved agreement becomes part of the parties’ visible operating history.
| Rule | Typical behavior | What the user should do |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery window | Set when the agreement or milestone is created. | Deliver and record completion before the enforcement clock expires. |
| Review window | The buyer receives a defined period to review delivered work. | Approve, request an allowed revision or take the available contract action. |
| Revision window | Applies when revisions are included and properly requested. | Keep the request specific and return the revision within the displayed deadline. |
| Extension | An eligible milestone can support one recorded extension request. | Request or decide the extension inside the workroom—not through an informal promise. |
| Silence | Automation may advance a contract when a deadline passes without action. | Watch the enforcement clock. Silence is not a pause button. |
Contract configuration can vary. Always follow the deadlines and controls displayed inside the specific funded agreement.
XRPL payment safety
Verify every field before signing.
A valid transaction sent with incorrect identifying information may not fund the intended contract. Treat the funding panel as an exact instruction set.
Confirm the destination
Compare the complete XRPL destination address. Do not rely on the first or last few characters alone.
Use the exact XRP amount
Send the amount requested by the contract. Do not round it or subtract network fees from it.
Include the Destination Tag
If a tag is supplied, include it exactly. It can identify which contract should receive credit for the deposit.
Preserve the Memo
If the workflow supplies a Memo, keep it attached exactly as shown. Tags and memos are not interchangeable.
Wait for verification
A wallet confirmation proves submission, not necessarily contract recognition. Wait until the contract itself reports funding.
Keep the transaction hash
The XRPL transaction hash is the durable receipt. Save it before closing the funding flow.
Trustless Enforcer
Objective conditions. Automated outcome.
The Enforcer is designed for agreements where settlement depends on a measurable condition rather than subjective approval of delivered work.
-
Define the payment
Enter the net XRP amount and verify the intended recipient address. -
Identify the asset correctly
Confirm the token issuer or identifying information used by the monitoring system. -
Set the target and expiry
Choose an objective target and a deadline that both parties understand. -
Fund exactly as instructed
Use the supplied address, amount, tag and other identifying payment data. -
Let the rule resolve
If the condition is satisfied before expiry, the defined release path applies. If not, the defined refund path applies.
The Enforcer executes the condition selected by users. It does not promise
market performance, verify promotional effort or turn an unrealistic
target into a fair agreement.
Economics and transparency
Know the cost before funding.
Review the displayed contract amount and applicable fee information before signing. Trustless publishes its economic structure and important system activity for inspection.
Fees
Review how Trustless charges for settlement infrastructure.
TRLS
Understand the utility token’s role in the wider ecosystem.
Transparency
Inspect the structure behind wallets, flows and accountability.
Tokenomics
Study supply, allocation and the long-term economic design.
Ecosystem
See how the products and economic layers fit together.
Partners
Learn how aligned operators can participate in distribution.
Security rules
Automation removes discretion—not responsibility.
Trustless reduces dependence on promises, but users still control the quality of the contract, the accuracy of payment inputs and the wallets they authorize.
Never share wallet secrets
No legitimate guide, profile, support message or counterparty needs your seed phrase or private key.
Do not fund from chat instructions
Return to the official contract and compare every payment field before signing.
Read before approving
Release, cancellation and refund actions can have permanent economic consequences.
Respect the timer
A deadline continues running unless the contract records a valid extension or state change.
Use milestones for larger work
Smaller deliverables reduce ambiguity and prevent one disagreement from controlling the entire agreement.
Verify official domains
Use trustlesspayments.io for corporate documentation and trustlessnetwork.app for the Network application.
Troubleshooting
When something does not look right.
| Problem | First checks |
|---|---|
| Payment is not verified | Compare the destination, exact amount, Destination Tag, Memo and transaction status on XRPL. |
| Contract still says awaiting funding | Confirm the payment was sent to the current contract instructions and allow the verification process to complete. |
| Wrong wallet appears connected | Disconnect, confirm the intended account inside the wallet and reconnect through the official application. |
| Action is unavailable | Check your participant role, current milestone, contract phase and whether the action window remains open. |
| Extension cannot be requested | Check whether the milestone is eligible or its available extension has already been used. |
| Contract moved to Resolved | Inspect the recorded terminal status: completed, refunded, cancelled or expired. |
Quick answers
Trustless user guide FAQ.
Does Trustless hold my wallet keys?
Never provide a seed phrase or private key. Users authorize supported transactions through their own wallet flow.
Is creating a draft the same as funding a contract?
No. A draft records proposed terms. The agreement becomes funded only after the required XRP payment is recognized by the contract system.
Why are Destination Tags and Memos important?
They can associate a shared destination payment with the correct contract. Omitting or changing them can prevent automatic matching.
Can a private message change the contract rules?
Do not assume so. Important actions should be reflected inside the contract workflow and its recorded state.
What happens when a party stays silent?
The result depends on the contract phase and displayed enforcement rules. Deadlines can advance the workflow even when a participant does nothing.
Should a large project use one payment?
Milestones are usually clearer for larger work because delivery, review and settlement happen in smaller defined stages.
Is Trustless affiliated with Ripple?
No. Trustless Payments is not affiliated with Ripple. XRP Ledger is open-source decentralized blockchain technology.
