Show HN: Instant escrow for crypto purchases with automated dispute resolution
Smart contract escrow on Base for safe USDC transactions. Deploy time-locked contracts with a few clicks - funds release automatically at payout time unless dispute is raised. Key features:
- Verified and audited contracts on Base - Auto-arbitration: when both parties agree on refund amount, funds distribute instantly - Non-custodial: users own their contracts, I provide infrastructure - 1% fee (vs 2-3% traditional escrow), gasless for users
Two implementations:
- P2P: https://app.instantescrow.nz (eg. NFT trades, freelance, vehicle sales) - Merchant plugins: https://app.instantescrow.nz/plugins WordPress/Shopify checkout integration
I built this because crypto needs safe transaction rails. Traditional escrow economics don't work at scale - smart contracts make 1% viable. I'm looking for feedback from first customers/merchants. Test with $0.001 USDC (fees waived). Demo videos on plugin site.
