On-Chain Escrow

Secure your vendor payments with XRPL’s built-in escrow: submit an EscrowCreate, and funds remain locked until conditions are met. No smart-contract code required.

EscrowCreate Parameters

• Amount: drops of XRP to lock
• Destination: vendor’s XRPL address
• Condition: SHA-256 hash lock (optional)
• FinishAfter: timestamp earliest release
• CancelAfter: deadline to refund

Releasing Funds

Call EscrowFinish when you have vendor proof. You can automate this via an off-chain watcher or—once enabled—the Hooks amendment.

Real-World Use

1. At hire time, UI fires EscrowCreate and SignerListSet together.
2. Vendor delivers work and submits a cryptographic proof hash.
3. Watcher/Hook triggers EscrowFinish; or user clicks “Release”/“Freeze.”
