🚀 Invest in Trustless Work
The Open-Source Escrow Infrastructure Powering the Next Wave of Global Transactions
Trustless Work is building the escrow infrastructure for the new economy—a plug-and-play API that enables platforms to seamlessly integrate non-custodial, milestone-based escrow payments into their workflows.
🔹 Escrows are the backbone of $400B+ in annual transactions
Giants like eBay and Upwork built their own Escrow Infrastructure, but most businesses can't afford to. We provide a plug-and-play infrastructure that lets platforms integrate secure, transparent, and blockchain-powered escrows seamslessly. No third-party custodials, or expensive implementations.

💡 The Problem: Escrows Are Broken
Global payments are plagued by fraud, disputes, and inefficiencies. Traditional escrows are:
Slow
Funds take days or weeks to settle, causing delays in business operations and cash flow.
Expensive
5-8% fees, high legal & banking overhead make escrow prohibitively expensive for many transactions.
Hard to Integrate
Requires custom-built infrastructure, specialized legal knowledge, and complex banking relationships.
📌 Why hasn't escrow gone mainstream?
Because until now, businesses needed lawyers, banks, and months of development just to implement it.
🚨 Even blockchain Escrows Are Broken
On-chain escrows were supposed to be the solution, but they’re still too costly and complex to implement:
Require Smart Contract Engineers
Highly specialized & expensive talent most businesses don’t have.
Takes Time to Get Right
Developing a secure, functional escrow system requires months of iteration, testing, auditing, and technical fine-tuning.
Difficult to Integrate
Requires custom-built infrastructure, integrations, bridges & on/off-ramps.
📌 Why hasn't on-chain escrow gone mainstream?
Because experimenting with blockchain-based escrows is costly, time-consuming, and risky.
