Use Case
Freelancer Escrow: Get Paid on Time, Every Time
Stop chasing invoices. Lock your client's payment in escrow before you write a single line of code, design a single screen, or draft a single word. Milestone-based releases ensure you get paid as you deliver.
How Freelancer Escrow Works
Three steps from handshake to payday. No crypto experience required.
Create an agreement
Define the scope, deliverables, and milestones. Invite your client by email — they don't need a wallet to review and sign.
Client locks funds
Your client deposits USDC into escrow. The funds are locked — neither party can withdraw unilaterally.
Deliver and get paid
Complete each milestone and request release. Once both parties sign off, funds transfer instantly to your wallet. No invoices, no chasing payments.
Built for Every Freelance Scenario
Web Design & Development
Split a website build into design, development, and launch milestones. Get paid as you deliver each phase — no more waiting until the entire project ships.
Copywriting & Content
Lock the full project fee upfront, then release per deliverable: outline, first draft, final revision. Both sides stay protected throughout.
Consulting & Strategy
Structure retainer-style engagements with monthly or phase-based escrow releases. Your client sees exactly where funds go; you get guaranteed payment.
Software & API Development
Tie payment to working code: MVP, beta, production release. The escrow enforces the agreement automatically — no disputes over what was delivered.
