Escrolux holds capital in reserve until the work is delivered. Funds sit in escrow, milestones are defined with deadlines and an independent approver, and payment only moves once delivery is confirmed.
Four moves between reserving capital and releasing it — each one recorded, none reversible by a single party alone.
Sample from the demo environment — none of these amounts move for real.
| Contract | Milestone | Approver | Amount | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brand overhaul — Studio Vero | Navigable prototype delivery | M. Salgado | 3,200 USDG | Released |
| Payments API — Norteweb | Sign-off in staging environment | A. Bittencourt | 5,800 USDG | Approved |
| Content curation — Ilhas Collective | Second batch of 12 pieces | R. Farias | 1,450 USDG | Pending |
| 3D print run — Keychain batch 4 | Delivery of 300 units to the storefront | V. Hugo | 1,950 USDG | Pending |
Three design decisions that take payment out of any single party's hands.
Every contract gets its own vault. A delay or dispute on one milestone never locks up capital from another.
Whoever releases the payment is neither the sender nor the recipient — reducing the incentive to rubber-stamp.
The payment condition lives in the contract, not in an email or a verbal agreement between the parties.
The prototype runs in an isolated environment — ideal for shaping the flow before any real contract goes to production.
