How BotDigit Crypto & Milestone Escrow Works
Unlike raw blockchain smart contracts that can trap funds due to bugs or complex on-chain oracles, BotDigit provides platform-custodied multi-currency escrow with human mediation and instant stablecoin settlement.
Contract & Milestone Definition
Client and freelancer agree on deliverables, scope, deadlines, and milestone amounts in USDT, USDC, or Fiat.
Secure Escrow Deposit
Client funds the milestone. Funds are securely locked in BotDigit multi-sig platform escrow (no gas-draining smart contract locks).
Work Execution & Code Submission
Freelancer works with confidence knowing payment is locked. Deliverables and code are submitted directly through the workspace.
Client Review & Approval
Client tests the work against milestone specifications. Built-in revision cycles ensure expectations are met.
Instant Escrow Release & Payout
Upon approval, funds are immediately credited to freelancer wallet for instant withdrawal in USDT, USDC, or local bank fiat.
- ✓Zero Gas Volatility: Deposits are locked without paying continuous on-chain gas fees for every sub-milestone.
- ✓Cross-Currency Settlements: Clients can deposit in USD/EUR while freelancers receive USDT/USDC.
- ✓Expert Technical Mediation: Real engineers audit deliverables during disputes rather than slow anonymous voting.
- •High Gas on Ethereum: Signing contracts and releasing funds incurs $5–$50+ in network gas fees.
- •No Fiat Integration: Clients must already own cryptocurrency and connect Web3 wallets (Metamask).
- •Oracle/Staking Disputes: Dispute resolutions require DAO voting or token-holder staking quorums.
