Both parties agree the terms
Buyer and seller set the asset, amount, delivery conditions and deadline. We record the agreed terms and issue a reference both sides can quote.
Nothing moves until both parties have accepted the same written terms. If either side declines, the deal closes with no fee.
-
We verify both sides
Identity and source-of-funds checks on both parties, plus on-chain screening of the wallets involved before anything is funded.
Screening is run against sanctions and illicit-finance databases. A failed check ends the deal before either party is exposed.
-
Buyer funds the escrow
Funds move into a multi-signature address that no single party, including us, can move alone. The address is verifiable on-chain before you send.
You can confirm the address and its signing policy yourself, on the public ledger, before committing any funds.
-
Seller delivers
The seller performs. The buyer confirms delivery against the terms recorded in step one, not against anything agreed verbally afterwards.
Both parties see the same status. Neither can alter the terms unilaterally once funds are locked.
-
Funds release
On buyer approval the escrow releases to the seller. If there is a disagreement, the dispute process starts instead, on a published clock.
Release requires two of the three signatures. Where the buyer approves, that is the buyer plus us. We cannot release to ourselves under any combination.
Every deal ends one of three ways
There is no fourth outcome, and no state where funds sit
indefinitely with no route out.
Release
The buyer approves and funds go to the seller. This is what happens in the overwhelming majority of deals. Escrow is a safety net, not an expectation of failure.
Return
Delivery does not happen, or both parties agree to cancel. Funds go back to the buyer. Either party can always agree to return funds, and that never requires a dispute.
Decision
The parties disagree. We review the recorded terms and the evidence both sides submit, and direct release accordingly, on the published timetable.
What we need from you
Nothing exotic. But we will not skip any of it, and neither will your counterparty.
- Identity documents for the contracting party, individual or company
- Evidence of the source of funds, proportionate to the deal size
- The wallet addresses that will be used, so they can be screened
- The delivery terms in writing: what, by when, and what counts as done
What we settle in
| USDT | Tron (TRC-20) | The default Gulf OTC rail. Cheapest to move. |
|---|---|---|
| USDT | Ethereum (ERC-20) | For counterparties already settling on Ethereum. |
| USDC | Ethereum (ERC-20) | Where the counterparty prefers a regulated issuer. |
| BTC | Bitcoin | Native 2-of-3 multisig at the protocol level. |
| ETH | Ethereum | Held in a Safe smart account. |
Deliberately narrow. We add chains where there is real demand, not to lengthen a list. Not supported: Privacy coins, rebasing tokens and fee-on-transfer tokens. The first cannot be screened; the last two change balances after funding.
What we will not do
- Act for a deal where one party refuses verification
- Proceed when a wallet fails screening, whatever the deal size
- Accept instructions to alter agreed terms from one party alone
- Take a share of the transaction instead of a disclosed fee
- Hold funds after a deal closes, for any reason
Tell us about the deal
Asset, amount, both parties, delivery terms. We will confirm whether we can act and exactly what it costs before you commit to anything.
