Core Capabilities of Our Bitcoin Escrow Service
Our service provides the technical foundation for secure, automated, and compliant Bitcoin transactions, enabling your business to scale with confidence.
01
Bitcoin Smart Contract Development
We build custom, non-custodial escrow contracts using Bitcoin Script and Taproot for complex logic. Our contracts are deterministic, verifiable, and enforce settlement terms without intermediaries.

Taproot/Schnorr
Protocol Standard
02
Multi-Signature Security Architecture
Implement robust 2-of-3 or M-of-N multi-signature wallets with configurable signer roles (Buyer, Seller, Arbiter). Funds are secured in a shared UTXO, requiring explicit consensus for release.

Dispute Resolution & Arbitration Module
Integrated arbitration logic allows a trusted third party to adjudicate disputes based on predefined, on-chain evidence. This provides a clear, automated path to resolution, preventing frozen funds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on how our Bitcoin-based escrow service works for your business.
Our service uses Bitcoin smart contracts (via protocols like Stacks, Rootstock, or Lightning) to create a secure, automated escrow. Funds are locked in a multi-signature contract. Upon successful delivery and verification of goods/services at the point-of-sale, the contract automatically releases payment to the seller. This eliminates the need for a trusted third party and reduces settlement time from days to minutes.
