When you pay someone online, you usually have to trust them. sBTC Escrow lets you skip that — your money sits in a smart contract until both sides agree the deal is done.
sBTC is Bitcoin you can use on the Stacks blockchain. It's backed 1:1 by real BTC and you can redeem it back whenever you want. You'll need some in your wallet before creating an escrow. Learn more
Three steps — from setting up the deal to getting paid.
You create an escrow with the seller's wallet address, the amount, what you're paying for, and a deadline. Your sBTC moves out of your wallet and into a smart contract.
Until both sides agree — or the deadline passes — neither of you can spend it.
The seller does their part of the deal — ships the product, completes the work, hands over the goods. When you're satisfied, one tap releases the funds to the seller automatically.
You stay in control. The platform never touches the money.
If the seller doesn't deliver before the deadline, the escrow refunds you. If there's a real disagreement, either side can open a dispute and an independent arbiter decides who gets paid.
After ~30 days with no resolution, you can recover your money yourself — no one can lock you out.
Real fears, real answers.
You'll need a Stacks wallet first. Setup takes about a minute.
