Problem
Purchasing domains online often involves trust issues, as buyers risk losing money if the seller does not transfer the domain promptly or at all, while sellers may hesitate to release the domain before receiving payment.
Solution
Atom offers an escrow service that holds the buyer’s payment in a secure account until the domain is verified to be in the buyer’s control. Once the transfer is confirmed, the funds are released to the seller, guaranteeing completion for both parties. The platform automates the entire handoff, typically completing transfers within hours and sometimes in under one hour. Payment options include credit cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, and other methods, providing flexibility for international transactions. By managing the workflow end‑to‑end, Atom reduces the friction and risk associated with domain trades.
