Visible settlement
Why Escrow
Holding funds is useful. Structuring the outcome is better.
Crypto escrow reduces the need to send assets directly to a stranger and hope the other side performs. Trustless workflows add visible conditions, verifiable funding and defined settlement logic.
Visible conditions
Establish amounts, deadlines, review periods and settlement rules before risk changes hands.
Rule-based release
Release value according to the contract state instead of an informal promise.
Defined refund paths
Identify when eligible funds can return before disagreement begins.
How It Works
From agreement to settlement.
The exact workflow depends on the product and contract configuration, but the operating logic remains visible before funds move.

Define
Set the parties, value, conditions, deadlines and evidence requirements.
02
Fund
Commit the XRP and verify the transaction against the agreement.
03
