Challenge

Freelance marketplaces lose disputes to opaque escrow; both sides wanted enforceable milestone releases with a fair process when work is contested.

Solution

We built milestone escrow with dispute windows, timelocked releases and portable reputation tokens freelancers carry between platforms.

Architecture

Escrow contracts with milestone-based releases, dispute timelocks with arbitrator roles, and reputation tokens minted on successful completion.

Features

  • Milestone escrow
  • Dispute windows
  • Reputation tokens
  • Multi-token support

Results

Dispute rate down 61% in the pilot cohort; median milestone release time under 2 minutes.

Need escrow logic both sides trust?

We write the release conditions into code, not terms pages.
