FidesVault escrow deals are currently funded and settled in digital assets. This page documents exactly how that works — the assets, the networks, and the rules a deal has to pass before funds move.
You choose the asset and network when the deal is created, and settlement happens in that same asset — no surprise conversions. Network fees are passed through at cost, so a cheaper chain means the seller keeps more.
Settlement mechanics are deliberately boring. Money only moves when the conditions below are satisfied.
One address per deal
Each escrow deal gets its own funding address, so funds are never commingled between deals and every payment maps to a single agreement.
Confirmation depth
A deal only becomes Funded after the required number of confirmations for that network. Larger or higher-risk deals can require additional depth.
Dual-control payouts
Large payouts require two approvers before a transaction is broadcast, and every release is written to the double-entry ledger.
A note on scope
FidesVault is an escrow and dispute-resolution platform. We are not an exchange, a broker, or a custodial wallet service, and we do not issue, trade, or make markets in any digital asset. Digital assets are one of the settlement options we support, alongside traditional currency; the product itself is the escrow workflow, the milestone logic, and the mediation process.
This page covers the digital-asset path. Additional settlement options are on our roadmap, and anything not yet live is labelled as planned on this site.
AI contract scanner & deal checker
We are building an AI-powered scanner that extracts key terms, obligations, and dates, flags risky or non-standard clauses, and checks deals against company policy and playbooks — re-checked every time a document is uploaded, edited, or re-submitted, with human review for consequential decisions.
Choose your settlement asset and network, invite your counterparty, and let escrow do the rest.
