How TrustHoldEscrow works
Six steps from opening a transaction to on-chain settlement — with a clear dispute path if things go sideways.
Create a transaction
Enter your counterparty's email, describe the deliverable, and pick a crypto (BTC, ETH, USDT) plus a fiat display currency (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD). You'll see the live conversion and 1.5% fee before you confirm.
Buyer deposits
A unique deposit address is generated for this transaction only. The buyer sends the exact crypto amount to that address.
Auto-detected on-chain
Escrow polls the chain via a node provider and marks the transaction Funded once confirmations are met. Both parties are notified.
Seller delivers
The seller marks work as delivered. The buyer inspects, then approves.
Funds release
On approval, funds release to the seller minus a 1.5% platform fee. The on-chain release tx hash is recorded and visible on a block explorer.
Dispute path
Either side can open a dispute before release. Support reviews the audit trail and can resolve to buyer, seller, or split.
Fee breakdown
A flat 1.5% is deducted from the release amount. There are no deposit fees, no monthly fees, and no hidden markups on exchange rates.
