A significant challenge we faced with the escrow system was effectively breaking down complex transactions into manageable milestones to ensure fund security for all involved parties. To address this, we adopted a milestone-based approach, securing financial transactions by linking payments directly to contract-specific milestones and releasing funds only after predefined conditions were successfully fulfilled.
The milestone-based escrow system operates through a structured, transparent process:
- Funds are securely held in escrow at transaction initiation.
- Each transaction includes clearly defined milestones, specifying conditions for partial or full payment releases.
- Automated tracking and verification mechanisms confirm milestone completion before funds are released.
- An integrated dispute resolution mechanism allows for manual intervention if conflicts or discrepancies arise.
Our system utilizes smart contracts, where applicable, and event-driven architecture to automate and streamline milestone tracking and payment processing, significantly enhancing security and efficiency.
