Custodial escrow vs smart-contract escrow, honestly

Smart-contract escrow sounds trustless, but in practice someone still has to arbitrate a dispute, and buggy or opaque contracts have burned users. Our model is simpler: transparent human-controlled custody, an auditable ledger for every movement, and a published dispute process. You always know who is accountable.

ETH and ERC20 stablecoins

We hold native ETH deposits, and if you prefer dollar-stable escrow on Ethereum rails we also support USDC and USDT (ERC20). See the dedicated USDC escrow page for stablecoin details.

Release in hours, not days

Traditional escrow companies take 5-20 days to disburse. Because release is a manual on-chain payout by our team, confirmed deals typically settle the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is smart contract escrow?

It is escrow logic coded on-chain, usually on Ethereum. It removes the custodian but not the need for a human arbitrator, and mistakes in contracts are unrecoverable. Many users prefer a transparent custodial service with a clear dispute process.

Do you support USDC escrow?

Yes, USDC on the Ethereum (ERC20) network, alongside native ETH and ERC20 USDT.
