Escrow infrastructure for the new economy: stablecoin-powered, open-source, and developer-first.

Trustless Work is a plug-and-play escrow infrastructure that enables businesses to integrate secure, transparent, and automated escrows into their payment flows—powered by stablecoins like USDC.

Escrow is a critical component of global payments, but traditional escrow services are slow, expensive, and difficult to integrate.

Trustless Work solves this by offering:

✅ Escrow-as-a-Service (EaaS) – A developer-friendly API to integrate programmable escrows in minutes.

✅ Smart Escrow Templates – Pre-built, open-source templates for marketplaces, security deposits, and trade finance.

✅ Stablecoin-Powered Payments – Digital dollar escrows enable instant, low-cost settlements with full transparency.

✅ Open-Source Ecosystem – 700+ developers building around Trustless Work, accelerating stablecoin adoption.

By leveraging digital dollars, we eliminate banking delays, enable seamless cross-border transactions, and unlock new business models for Web2 and Web3 platforms.

Use Cases

Marketplaces & E-Commerce

Secure buyer-seller transactions with digital dollar-powered escrows. Online marketplaces can hold payments in escrow until goods are delivered or services are completed, eliminating fraud and disputes.

Freelance & Service Platforms

Milestone-based digital dollar escrows ensure fair payments for freelancers. Platforms like Upwork can release payments gradually based on completed work, reducing disputes and increasing trust between clients and freelancers.

Trade Finance & B2B Transactions

Instant, low-cost digital dollar escrows replace slow banking intermediaries. Businesses can use digital dollar-powered escrows to secure large cross-border payments, ensuring funds are only released when agreed conditions are met.

Security Deposits & Rentals

Automated digital dollar deposits and refunds reduce fraud in rentals. Real estate and rental platforms can hold security deposits in escrow and automate refunds based on contract terms, increasing transparency for landlords and tenants.

Web3 & DAO Treasury Management

Digital dollar escrow for grants, DAO payments, and milestone-based funding. DAOs and Web3 organizations can lock funds in escrow and release payments based on governance approvals or project milestones.

Project Finance & Budget Allocation

Digital dollar-powered escrows for controlled budget releases in software development and outsourcing. Companies outsourcing software development or managing large projects can hold funds in escrow and release payments based on milestones, sprints, or deliverables. This ensures accountability, reduces financial risk, and improves trust between clients and development teams.
