# Trustlines

Trustlines are how Stellar accounts opt in to **issued assets**.

If an account has no trustline, it cannot hold that asset.

{% hint style="info" %}
Each trustline increases the account’s minimum balance by **0.5 XLM** (base reserve).
{% endhint %}

### What is a trustline?

* A trustline links an account to an **asset issuer**.
* It allows the account to **receive, hold, and send** that asset.
* It includes a **limit** (max balance you accept).
* It tracks balance and liabilities (like open offers).

### Why trustlines matter for escrows

Trustless Work escrows can use **any Stellar-issued asset**.

Every participant must be able to hold that asset.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If a signer can’t hold the escrow asset, their step may fail. Set trustlines before testing any escrow flow.
{% endhint %}

### Issuer addresses (USDC / EURC)

Use these issuer addresses when you configure the escrow trustline.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.trustlesswork.com/trustless-work/v2-en/introduction/stellar-and-soroban-the-backbone-of-trustless-work/trustlines.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
