Escrow

How escrow protects both parties

Escrow is a secure fund-holding mechanism that protects both projects and influencers during campaigns.

How escrow works

  1. Campaign starts — the agreed payment amount is moved from the project's available balance to escrow.
  2. Work in progress — funds remain locked and visible to both parties.
  3. Submission approved — funds are atomically transferred from escrow to the influencer's available balance.

Why escrow?

  • For influencers — you know the money is there before you start working.
  • For projects — funds are only released when work is approved.

ℹ️ Info

Escrow operations are atomic (using database-level locking) to prevent race conditions. Funds cannot be double-spent or lost.
