Step 4: Funding an Escrow

Once an escrow is initialized, the next step is to fund it. Funding locks the transaction amount in the escrow contract until conditions are met.

1. Open the Escrow Modal

• Navigate to the Escrows section.

• Click on the escrow you want to fund.

• A modal window will appear with detailed information:

  • Escrow Title & Description

  • Assigned Roles (Approver, Service Provider, etc.)

  • Milestones & Status

  • Escrow ID (Top right)

📌 The Escrow ID is crucial for funding.

2. Three Ways to Fund an Escrow

Option 1: Send Funds Directly to the Escrow ID

• Copy the Escrow ID from the modal.

• Open your Stellar wallet.

• Send USDC or XLM to the Escrow ID just like you would send funds to any Stellar address.

🔹 Anyone with a Stellar wallet can fund the escrow using this method.

Option 2: Use the QR Code

• Click on "Show QR Address".

• Scan the QR Code with a mobile wallet app.

• The wallet will automatically recognize the Escrow ID and prompt a transaction.

Option 3: Use the "Fund Escrow" Button (Recommended)

• Click "Fund Escrow" in the modal.

• A new dialog will appear asking how much to deposit.

• Enter the desired amount and click "Fund Escrow".

• Your wallet (Freighter, Albedo, etc.) will pop up for transaction review & signing.

• Confirm and sign the transaction.

3. Confirm Funding

After funding:

✅ The escrow balance updates. ✅ The status progresses (e.g., “Funded” or “Working”). ✅ Milestones can now be marked as completed and approved.
