Problem
Traditional escrow systems are custodial, slow, and fiat-bound, requiring intermediaries to hold funds and manage releases. Web3 escrow alternatives often demand deep blockchain development and audits, which slows time-to-market for builders and limits accessibility for non-crypto-native teams.
Solution
Trustless Work provides API-driven, non-custodial escrow infrastructure for stablecoin payments, built on Stellar's Soroban smart contracts. The platform enables milestone-based, conditional releases with roles for funding, approval, and disputes, all while users retain full control of their wallets. Developers can deploy mainnet escrows in minutes using the API, SDK, or prebuilt React components, without needing to write or audit smart contracts. The infrastructure is composably modular, allowing custom escrow flows that support marketplaces, crowdfunding, payroll, and trade finance. All transactions are transparently executed on Stellar, ensuring an immutable and auditable record.
Target Audience
Primary customers are platforms, fintechs, and marketplaces building stablecoin payment flows, as well as Web3 developers and DAOs needing programmable escrow infrastructure without custom smart contract work. The platform also serves operators and service providers who deploy and manage escrows via the white-label dApp.
