How escrow works

Payment security, without the guesswork.

No more chasing invoices. No more starting work on trust alone.

  1. 01

    Open a Project Shield

    The client defines the project, milestones, and deposits funds into escrow (card, bank, or USDC).

  2. 02

    Work happens, protected

    The professional delivers against each milestone with funds already locked and waiting.

  3. 03

    Milestone review

    Once work is marked complete, the client has 3 days to approve or flag an issue. No action = auto-release.

  4. 04

    Shield AI mediation, if needed

    Disputes are resolved in minutes: Shield AI reviews the agreement and evidence, then proposes a fair split. Two rejections escalate to a human mediator.

  5. 05

    Payout

    Approved funds release immediately to the professional's chosen method.
