Who it's for
Teams that already pay in USDC still need what wire buyers get — a hold both sides trust, terms on record, and a path when something goes wrong.
You already settle in USDC to skip wire delays. You still will not move six figures to a wallet address from a supplier you only know over email.
Once USDC leaves your wallet, it is gone. Bad shipments and missing paperwork are painful to unwind without a neutral hold.
Treasury leads pay agencies and auditors in stablecoins and need a record finance can reconcile — not just another on-chain transfer.
Multisig sends look tidy on-chain but rarely spell out deliverables, inspection windows, or what happens when someone disputes.
Your client is abroad and wants to pay in USDC. You need proof the money exists before a multi-week build, not a promise in Slack.
Work starts on a handshake. The wallet address changes, or the transfer never lands at the amount you quoted.
You added stablecoin checkout because buyers asked for it. Custody has to sit between wallets, not pass straight through.
Wallet-to-wallet checkout puts fraud and chargeback risk on you unless funds pause in neutral custody first.
Typical deals
Cross-border supplier payments
Inventory and manufacturing POs held until goods pass inspection.
Contractor and agency payouts
Full contract funded at kickoff, released per milestone or sign-off.
High-value P2P sales
Equipment or bulk goods where both sides prefer stablecoins over wire.
Treasury grant releases
Foundation or DAO grants paid when milestone evidence is approved.
How it works
Buyer and seller follow one transaction record. Stablecoins release only when the agreed conditions are met.
Full escrow processTerms
Both parties record the USDC or USDT amount, inspection window, and seller wallet or bank account before anyone sends funds.
Funding
Stablecoins move into segregated custody. Both parties see funded status on the same transaction — not a wallet screenshot.
Delivery
Goods ship or deliverables are uploaded with documents attached to the deal file.
Inspection
The buyer checks delivery during the inspection period and accepts, or opens a dispute if something is off.
Release
Trustners sends USDC or USDT to the seller wallet once conditions clear. Fiat payout is available in supported regions.
Protection
Wallet transfers are final. Escrow keeps funds in custody until delivery is verified and both sides have a dispute path if needed.
Payer
Payment waits on your sign-off
Funds stay in custody until you confirm delivery — not when the seller asks you to release.
Terms fixed before you deposit
The USD equivalent is on the transaction record before you fund, so you know what you are sending.
Disputes freeze release
If something goes wrong, both sides submit evidence against the same agreement while funds stay held.
Payee
Funded escrow before heavy work
You see verified custody before you ship goods or commit weeks of labor.
Release tied to acceptance
Payout follows inspection or expiry rules — not informal chat promises.
Clean record for finance
A neutral transaction file helps when your team needs proof of how the deal closed.
Milestone releases in stablecoins? Milestone escrow · Dispute resolution
Funding
Deposits credit after on-chain confirmations. Release follows escrow rules — not the moment the buyer sends from a personal wallet.
USDC and USDT
Fund in the stablecoins your counterparty already uses. Amounts are held in USD equivalent on the transaction record.
Confirmations up front
Required on-chain confirmations are listed before you send. Timing depends on network load.
Fiat off-ramp where available
Sellers who prefer a bank payout can nominate a verified account after release instead of keeping stablecoins.
Same dispute path as wire deals
Stablecoin disputes follow the same workflow as ACH or wire escrow — funds stay held until resolution.
