Integration checklist

Trustless Work Integration Checklist (v1 — Developer Edition)

Goal: Go from idea to live escrows in under 1 week.

Time Estimate: 4–8 hours of implementation (plus testing).

Prerequisites:

• Basic Web3 knowledge

• A Stellar wallet (Freighter, Albedo)

• Access to stablecoins (USDC/EURC on testnet or mainnet)

---

Phase 1 – Preparation (Setup & Planning)

1. Understand Your Use Case

• Define your escrow workflow: single-release (full payout at end) or multi-release (payout per milestone).

• Map your transaction lifecycle: Initiation → Funding → Milestone Updates → Approval → Release (→ Dispute if needed).

📄 Escrow Lifecycle

2. Choose the Correct Escrow Type

• 📄 Escrow Types

• Single-Release — full payout after all milestones approved.

• Multi-Release — staged payouts per milestone.

3. Define Roles

Assign the parties' Stellar addresses to each role in your escrow:📄 Roles in Trustless Work

• Approver — approves or disputes milestones.

• Service Provider — delivers work, marks milestones complete.

• Release Signer — releases funds once approvals are complete.

• Dispute Resolver — resolves disputes.

• Platform Address — receives platform fees.

• Receiver — final recipient of funds.

4. Define Escrow Properties

Escrow Properties

• Asset & trustline setup

• Amount & platform fee

• Engagement ID (invoice/order ref)

• Milestones (title, description, acceptance criteria)

Phase 2 – Integration (Core Setup)

5. Get Access

• Sign up at dApp for mainnet.

• Sign up at dApp for testnet.

• Request API Key (testnet; mainnet post-audit) Request API Key -> you can see the videos on the dApp landing.

6. Install SDK / Tools Getting Started

• Install NPM package.

• Import SDK into your project.

• Clone or reference open-source templates for your vertical (e.g., P2P, marketplace, grant platform).

7. Configure Your Escrow

• Set roles, addresses, amount, fees, and milestones.

• Choose single-release or multi-release logic.

• Use testnet asset for initial integration.

---

Phase 3 – Testing (Validation & Debugging)

8. Deploy on Testnet

• Create your first escrow via API or SDK.

• Fund it using a testnet wallet (e.g., Freighter, Albedo).

• Walk through milestone completion and approval flow.

9. Simulate Edge Cases

• Dispute handling

• Partial funding

• Timeout or cancellation flows

10. Run Compliance & UX Review

• KYC/AML readiness (if needed for your vertical).

• Test wallet connection & signing UX.

---

Phase 4 – Launch (Go Live)

11. Migrate to Mainnet

• Move Trustless Work to Mainnet

• Deploy Mainnet contracts using SDK or API.

• Fund first live escrows with stablecoins.

12. Monitor & Optimize

• Use viewer or dApp backoffice to track escrow status, funding, and release.
