Trustless Work is built for developers, platforms, and agents who want more control and automation over when funds are released.
Examples:
Gig and freelance platforms (e.g. milestone payments)
B2B tools using USDC for global payouts
Rental and booking platforms (security deposits)
Value:
Reduce fraud, automate disbursements, lower cost
Examples:
Solo devs or teams prototyping dApps
DAO tools, donation platforms, web3 marketplaces
Value:
Plug-and-play escrow logic
Start on testnet, go live without audit headaches
Examples:
Platforms with escrow-like flows (but no infrastructure)
Projects looking to replace costly custodial services
Value:
Save time and legal risk by using programmable, auditable escrows
Trustless Work documentation isn’t just written for humans. It’s structured for agents, copilots, and AI models to understand, remix, and build on top of.
Every page in our documentation is written for both:
Humans who want clarity, precision, and examples.
Machines that need structure, consistency, and semantics.
The next generation of builders won’t just code — they’ll prompt. Trustless Work is optimized for that. Our docs follow an AI-ready format, meaning you can:
Export any page in Markdown or PDF for training datasets.
Feed it directly into your custom copilot or LLM memory.
Let your AI agents read the docs, reason through flows, and even execute API calls using your keys and roles.
🧠 Our goal: make the documentation itself a building block for automation.
You can export any section of this documentation into:
PDF – for reference and onboarding manuals
Markdown (.md) – for AI ingestion or context injection
Prompt blocks – pre-formatted snippets that can be pasted into GPT, Cursor, or v0.dev
💡 Use the SDK subpage under VibeCoding to see live examples of AI prompts generating, debugging, and deploying escrow flows automatically.
The docs themselves are AI-trained and search-optimized. That means the search bar understands natural language and intent — not just keywords.
Try prompts like:
The system will reformat your question into a structured query, returning optimized snippets, SDK calls, or workflow examples.
Escrows are a great way to solve for trust.
Escrows are neutral way to hold funds while specific conditions are met. Most people tend to think about Real Estate when I mention escrows, and they are right! we DO use escrows for Real Estate and high value transactions!
But Escrows are useful for so many things, for example, marketplaces like Upwork and Ebay use them:
Ebay and Upwork can afford to build their own escrow infrastructure. Well, sort of... Ebay actually uses Escrow.com, a huge legacy escrow company that takes between (3% - 8%) , Upwork, built Upwork Escrow inc. But thats not the reality of most businesses...

explain the difference between approver and release signerEscrows with Fiat are next to impossible to build (Legacy escrows). Escrows are more commonly found on high value transactions, like Real Estate, Merge and Aquisitions, and cross border trade mainly because they are costly and sloe. Fiat requires bank accounts or a complex settlement system to achieve this functionality. I've met people who toook a year to build their escrow infrastrucute, A YEAR!
Blockchain obviously solves this, but complexity to built it is still high. Blockchain and web3 are the perfect solution for this, but we can't expect for every marketplace out there to have a Smart Contract engineer. Getting to experiment, test and scale with this technology is resource intensive and has a steep learning curve.
❌ Chargebacks and fraud in marketplaces
❌ Late or withheld payments for freelancers
❌ Unclear fund control in grants, bounties, or pre-orders
❌ No dispute path in P2P or milestone deals
💸 Payments are only released when work is approved
🔐 Funds are held in secure, neutral smart contracts
🤖 Approval flows can be signed off by users, platforms, or agents
🌍 Works globally with USDC and Stellar’s fast settlement
