Start and finish deals without relying on blind trust. In EscrowDapp, a buyer begins by connecting a wallet and opening a deal room with concrete terms: price, currency (ETH or supported stablecoins), delivery date, and acceptance criteria. Add a project brief or IPFS hash, split the work into milestones if needed, and invite the counterparty with a shareable link. Fund the contract and watch the balance lock on-chain before any work starts. As deliverables arrive, approve releases per milestone or request changes. If the deadline hits without approval, use the built-in flow to extend, refund, or escalate according to the rules you set up front.
Sellers work with confidence because they can see funds secured before committing time. Accept the proposal, verify the locked amount on-chain, and start delivery. When you’re ready, submit a release request for the agreed portion and attach evidence or files. Buyers either approve and funds move instantly, or provide feedback for revision. Finalize the job with a single confirmation to unlock the remainder. Export a transaction receipt for your records, track payouts per address, and set a preferred withdrawal wallet for future deals.
For teams shipping in stages, set multiple checkpoints: design, prototype, handoff, support. Each milestone has its own amount, date, and acceptance note so progress and payments stay aligned. Use templates to standardize terms across similar engagements, like recurring sprints or fixed-price packages. For peer-to-peer trades or asset transfers, add a simple rule: “release after asset is received,” then both parties confirm when the handover is done. If someone goes quiet, timeouts and expirations cleanly unwind the deal and return funds as defined by the escrow’s conditions.
Product builders can integrate EscrowDapp into their workflow by referencing public contract addresses and listening for emitted events to automate status updates in their app. Spin up test deals on supported testnets to rehearse edge cases, then move to mainnet when ready. Roles clarify who can propose changes, approve releases, or trigger disputes. If a conflict arises, either side can open an evidence thread and propose a split; the settlement executes on-chain once the decision is reached or a time lock completes. Every action is visible on the block explorer, giving both parties an auditable trail from proposal to payout.
