Escrow Payment Network

Layers Escrow ensures secure, transparent payments for freelancers with decentralized smart contracts, eliminating third-party involvement and building on-chain reputation.

Overview

Escrow can be defined as the third party that holds money for parties until all conditions of a transaction have been met. The escrow agent is responsible for disbursing the money to the appropriate party once all conditions have been met.

Here are some of the benefits of using an escrow:

• It protects both the buyer and seller.

• It ensures that the transaction is completed smoothly and efficiently.

• It provides peace of mind for both parties.

But the challenge with the current escrow system is they can't be directly connected to payments there is always a person involved which leads to a lack of trust and transparency, and increased costs.

Thanks to smart contracts, because...

The smart contracts-based escrows can enforce the payments according to the conditions and release the payment when they are met without the involvement of any third party and they are decentralized, trustless, and transparent.
