THE CONTRACT MOVES.
THE FUNDS FOLLOW.
Every stage is a state transition. Funding, delivery, proof and settlement are recorded independently.
01 / FUND
Milestone Funding
Client commits only the active project tranche into a Solana-controlled escrow vault.

02 / DELIVER
Work & Commit
Contractor submits code, design, audit report or another digital artifact to the agreed delivery channel.

Atomic Release
The funded tranche is released directly to the freelancer wallet when the agreed condition becomes valid.

Security Model
NO PLATFORM BALANCE.
NO BLACK BOX.
Critical states live inside explicit protocol logic instead of a company database.
GUARANTEE / 01
Program-Controlled Funds
Active milestone capital remains governed by contract state instead of a platform withdrawal queue.
GUARANTEE / 02
Immutable Delivery Fingerprint
Proof exists independently of screenshots, support messages or claims made after the fact.
GUARANTEE / 03
Direct Wallet Settlement
When release becomes valid, funds route directly toward the designated contractor wallet.
Settlement Comparison
THE DIFFERENCE IS CONTROL.
| Metric | Traditional Platform | Generic Crypto Escrow | ESCROWL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Settlement speed | Days / withdrawal holds | Service dependent | Programmed onchain release |
| Fee model | Often 10–20% | Variable | 0% platform commission model |
| Delivery proof | Messages / uploads | Depends on product | Cryptographic fingerprint |
| Fund control | Platform custody | Contract / custodian | Milestone contract state |
Marketplace policies and fee structures vary by provider, jurisdiction,
account plan and contract type.
Protocol FAQ
CONTRACT LOGIC,
NOT GUESSWORK.
A contract can define a verification window. If no dispute is submitted before expiry and the configured proof requirements are satisfied, the milestone may follow its pre-agreed automatic settlement route.
Agreements may attach a predefined arbitration route such as a technical reviewer or multi-signature decision layer. The dispute mechanism is defined before funding instead of being invented after a disagreement.
No. A deterministic hash can identify the artifact without publishing its underlying contents. Source code and private files can remain inside the original delivery environment.
The settlement architecture can be implemented around Solana token flows. Stablecoin settlement such as USDC is the clearest digital-work payment model, while other SPL assets depend on contract configuration.
