USDC Escrow Service

USDC is the stablecoin of choice for businesses and US-facing deals: dollar-backed, issued by a regulated company, and supported by every major wallet and exchange. Our USDC escrow holds the funds on the Ethereum (ERC20) network until the buyer confirms delivery.

Start an Escrow Transaction How It Works

Why settle a deal in USDC escrow

A deal priced in dollars should settle in dollars. With USDC in escrow, the amount the buyer locks is exactly the amount the seller receives, regardless of how long delivery takes. No volatility risk, no conversion spread, and the transparency of an on-chain deposit both parties can verify.

USDC vs USDT for escrow

Both track the US dollar. USDC is preferred by counterparties who value its regulated issuer and monthly reserve attestations; USDT (especially on TRC20) is preferred where network fees matter most. We support both, so use whichever coin both parties already hold.

How our USDC escrow works

Open a transaction priced in USDC, invite the other party, and deposit to the assigned ERC20 escrow address. We verify the deposit on-chain, the seller delivers, and on the buyer's confirmation we release the USDC to the seller's wallet, typically the same day. The fee is a flat 1%.
