Funds follow the agreement

In a non-custodial flow, funds are locked under the smart contract rules for the project rather than held in a company-controlled balance. The release paths are designed around the agreement participants set.

Understanding still matters

Before using any payment flow, both sides should review the amount, network, approval action and dispute process. Good tools make the record easier to follow, but each participant should understand the transaction they authorize.

Turn a good agreement into a protected payment.

Set the terms, secure the budget, and only release after approval.
