Most payment disputes aren’t about whether money is owed but whether the payment condition was met. A smart contract makes that condition explicit and verifiable.
A simple structure
Funds are locked in an escrow contract, milestones and their approvers are defined, and each approval releases its share. For sensitive amounts, require multi-signature approval.
Arbiters and exceptions
No contract foresees every case. An arbitration path, deadlines and a refund route must be designed in from the start.
Security before deployment
A smart contract is hard to change once deployed, so edge-case tests, well-reviewed libraries and a pre-deployment review are an inseparable part of the work.
