Escrow for any deal, staged your way
Protect any transaction between two parties — split payment across milestones, with funds held securely until each stage is delivered and approved.
How it works
1. Propose
One party creates the escrow, sets the total amount, and invites the other party by account, email, or phone — no account required to receive an invite.
2. Agree on terms
Both parties sign that arbitration decisions are final and binding — this protects everyone if something goes wrong later.
3. Define milestones
Split the total into stages — a deposit, progress payments, final delivery — whatever fits the work. The amounts must add up exactly to the total.
4. Fund each milestone
The payer funds a milestone once both sides agree to its terms. Funds are held securely — the payer can never claw them back once paid in.
5. Deliver & release
The payee marks a milestone delivered. The payer then has a set window to review and release the funds.
6. Dispute if needed
If either side disagrees, or the payer goes silent, that one milestone — and only that milestone — freezes and goes to binding arbitration.
Why milestones, not one lump sum?
Most real deals aren't paid in one go — a deposit, progress payments, and a final balance is how work actually gets done. Each milestone in your escrow has its own amount, its own delivery check, and its own dispute path — so a disagreement over one stage never freezes the whole deal.
