Escrow contract

The Portafino Escrow Contract Service is a comprehensive blockchain-based escrow solution designed to facilitate secure, transparent, and efficient transactions between parties.

Our service leverages smart contract technology to provide automated escrow management, ensuring that funds are held securely until all conditions are met and verified.

What is Escrow?

Escrow is a financial arrangement where a third party holds and regulates payment of funds required for two parties involved in a transaction. It helps make transactions more secure by keeping the payment in a secure account, which is only released when all of the terms of an agreement are met as overseen by the escrow company.

Instead of trusting a third party escrow, smart contracts are used where both parties can see the money and know that it can only move in two directions based on the rule of the smart contract - assuring receiver that there are funds up front and payer that there is a way to dispute and withhold payment.
