01
Agree
Buyer and seller define terms, amount, deliverables, deadlines, dispute rules. Everything is signed and recorded on-chain before a single token moves.
- On-chain agreement hash
- Both parties sign
- Immutable record
The protocol
Simple by design.
Trustless by default.
Three steps. Zero middlemen. Every Zendetsu escrow follows the same on-chain pattern.
02
Lock
Funds are locked in an audited smart contract. Not held by us, not held by the counterparty. Held by code.
- Non-custodial vault
- Audited Solana program
- Real-time status
03
Release
When the agreed conditions are met, the contract releases the funds automatically. If something goes wrong, the dispute path takes over.
- Automatic release
- Optional dispute path
- Final on-chain settlement
When things go wrong
Disputes, handled.
Most deals close without issue. When they don't, Zendetsu's optional dispute path keeps things private, evidence-based, and binding.
Raise
Either party can raise a dispute within the agreed window with evidence attached.
Review
A vetted resolver privately reviews the evidence from both sides.
Resolve
The decision is enforced on-chain. Funds are released according to the ruling.
