🚀Developer Quickstart

This guide takes you from zero to escrow in just a few steps — whether you’re prototyping, testing, or preparing for production.

🧠 1. Understand the Model (Optional but Recommended)

Trustless Work is an Escrow-as-a-Service platform that lets you securely hold funds in a programmable, non-custodial escrow until milestones are completed and approved.

✅ Why it matters:

  • 🚀 Launch escrow flows in minutes, not months

  • 🔐 Secure, neutral, role-based fund control

  • 💸 Save on dev effort and avoid smart contract audits

  • 🌍 Enable global, stablecoin-based payments using Stellar + USDC

📚 Read how it works 📖 Explore use cases

✍️ 2. Design Your Escrow Lifecycle

Before deploying, define:

  • Who can mark milestones as done

  • Who must approve work

  • Who can release funds

  • Who can resolve disputes

→ Escrow Roles & Permissions

Not sure how to structure it? → Check example flows

🧰 3. Deploy and Test on Our dApps

We’ve built a lightweight dApp to help you deploy escrows without writing code.
