Escrow is a secure fund-holding mechanism that protects both projects and influencers during campaigns.
How escrow works
- Campaign starts — the agreed payment amount is moved from the project's available balance to escrow.
- Work in progress — funds remain locked and visible to both parties.
- 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.
