Non-custodial escrow on Polygon
Escrowed performance guarantees. Enforced.
Two parties stake real funds against a promise. The contract locks the stakes, runs the deadline, and pays out by the rules both sides agreed to — no custodian, no admin key, no trust required.
A promise, backed by stakes both parties can lose.
- 01PROMISE
One party commits to a concrete deliverable — the promise the contract exists to enforce.
- 02PLEDGE
Party A stakes funds into the escrow, and Party B stakes too when the pledge requires counterparty funding. The pledge is what each party stands to lose.
- 03DEADLINE
A deploy-time deadline runs on-chain. When it lapses, anyone can call the contract to evaluate the outcome — no admin required.
- 04COUNTERPARTY
The counterparty accepts, proposes a split, or lets the take-it-or-leave-it window close.
- 05ARBITER
An arbiter is optional at creation. When bound, they rule only on a dispute in OPTIONAL mode, or any time before the deadline in MANDATORY mode.

How it works

Write the promise and bind an arbiter. Both sides see the exact terms before anything is signed.
- 02Pledge amount
Stake the funds into escrow. The contract holds them — no custodian ever touches the balance.
- 03Execute
Deliver before the deadline. The contract settles by the agreed rules, or the arbiter rules on a dispute.
