Marketplaces spend enormous effort holding money in the middle. A synchronised release lets the chain hold it instead, and lets both sides leave with what they were promised.
Classic escrow asks a third party to hold funds, check conditions and then release. It works, but it is slow, costly and opaque to the people whose money is waiting.
Two legs, one outcome
In a Drip Cash escrow, the payment and the proof sit in the same contract. When the buyer confirms, or a deadline passes with no dispute, both legs complete in one transaction. If a condition fails, everything rolls back to where it started.
Disputes stay rare
Because the rules are published before any money moves, fewer situations are left open to interpretation. When a dispute does happen, both sides are looking at the same record.
