How The Service Works

An escrow service is a neutral third party that holds and manages assets or cash for two or more parties under an agreement, in order to ensure that the agreed terms are met before the assets are released to the rightful parties.

Acting independently and impartially, the escrow agent protects the interests of all parties involved, building trust and enhancing security in any transaction.

Benefits of an Escrow Service

  • Enhanced Trust: Escrow agents provide assurance in transactions, especially when the parties are not familiar with each other
     

  • Secure Transactions: Assets and cash are managed and released only when the agreed conditions are fulfilled.
     

  • Transparency in block trades: Escrow agents can confirm the existence of the cryptocurrencies without requiring wallet details to be disclosed between the parties.
