Live on Devnet
Simple 1v1
Two parties. One deal. Lock and release.
Building on Solana · Devnet
Trustless escrow on Solana. No lawyers. No banks. No middlemen who know your business.
Non-custodial · Permissionless · Built on Solana
How it works
Eight steps. Zero middlemen.
- 01
Lock
Funds split into two vaults instantly.
- 02
Join
Recipient confirms, timelock starts, burner IDs generated.
- 03
Agree on speed
Express or Instant, both must agree.
- 04
Deliver
Off-chain. Hand over goods, files, services.
- 05
Confirm
Both confirm, instant release.
- 06
Auto-release
Timelock expires, the waiting party claims.
- 07
Inactivity protection
After 180 days of inactivity, funds return to depositor.
- 08
If disputed
Freezes. AI triage first, then jurors decide.
Escrow modes
Built for how you do business.

Milestone
Pay in stages as deliverables complete.
Coming Soon

Live on Devnet
Timed Release
Funds release on a clock you set together.
Dispute resolution
Fair by design.
AI handles the obvious ones
Triage runs first. Clear-cut disputes resolve in minutes, not weeks.
Jurors handle the hard ones
Vetted human jurors stake to adjudicate. Evidence stays sealed.
Nobody gets stuck
Funds are never frozen forever. Every dispute has a defined exit.

Built for Africa
The features nobody else
built for us.
Zendetsu is not a generic protocol with an African flag slapped on it. These features exist because the problems are real and the market is 1.4 billion people.
Ajo System
V3.3Rotating savings on-chain. A group locks contributions. The contract releases to the right person at the right time. No organizer to trust. No human who can run with the money.
Every Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa person knows what an ajo is.
P2P Currency Exchange
V3.2Trustless Binance P2P. USDC to Naira, Naira to USDC. Both sides lock simultaneously. The swap executes atomically. Nobody can run.
No account. No KYC. No centralized risk.
Web2 Invisible Mode
V3.1Fund via Opay, Palmpay, Flutterwave, M-Pesa, MTN MoMo. Create an escrow. It looks like a normal payment app. They never see a wallet. They never know it's blockchain.
Like WhatsApp — nobody knows it runs on AWS.
Deadman Trigger
V2.3Set a beneficiary. If your wallet goes inactive for your chosen period, funds transfer automatically. A crypto will on Solana. Nobody has built this cleanly before.
Your SOL doesn't disappear with you.
Built in Nigeria. For the world.
Privacy
Your business stays your business.
Burner IDs
A fresh identity is generated per transaction and expires permanently when the deal closes.
Wallet separation
Private mode routes through intermediate accounts so your main wallet stays out of the trail.
Dashboard privacy
Opt in to appear in analytics. By default, your activity is yours alone.
Zendetsu is built on a public blockchain. All transactions are visible on-chain. We do not claim otherwise.
Why trust this
Trust. But verify.
Two vault architecture
Funds split into two vaults the instant you lock. Neither side can move them alone.
Soon
Open source contract
The on-chain program will be fully open source.
Soon
Hybrid dispute resolution
AI triage plus staked human jurors.
Soon
Audit before mainnet
Independent audit will ship before mainnet launch.
For developers
The last escrow SDK you will ever need.
$ npm install @zende/sdk
@zende/sdk · example.ts
import { ZendetsuClient, solToLamports } from "@zende/sdk"
const client = new ZendetsuClient(provider, idl)
const { escrowId } = await client.createEscrow({
amount: solToLamports(1),
feeAmount: solToLamports(0.01),
mode: { simple: {} },
releaseCondition: { majority: {} },
speed: { standard: {} },
recipient: recipientPublicKey,
treasury: treasuryPublicKey,
})
await client.confirmRelease({ escrowId, depositor, recipient, treasury })
await client.claimRelease({ escrowId, depositor, treasury })Open source soon. Star the repo and follow along.
