Decentralised escrow infrastructure · Multi-chain
Escrow, enforced
by code.
BitRegalo locks commitments in on-chain escrow before work begins. No middleman. No custodian. Code decides the outcome.
01 / Lock
The escrow locks on-chain.
The issuer opens an escrow and commits it for a fixed term. From that moment the commitment is ring-fenced — visible to both parties, spendable by neither.
02 / Keys
Two keys. One direction each.
The issuer can only release the escrow to the receiver. The receiver can only return it to the issuer. Neither side can pull it toward themselves.
Issuer
Can only release — the escrow moves forward
Receiver
Can only cancel — the escrow goes back
03 / Settle
Every path ends safely.
RELEASED
The issuer turns their key. The escrow settles to the receiver.
CANCELLED
The receiver turns theirs. The escrow returns to the issuer.
EXPIRED
The term runs out. The escrow returns to the issuer — automatically.
There is no fourth path. The worst case, for anyone, is getting back exactly what they committed.
No one else can touch it.
Not even us.
Traditional escrow asks you to trust an agent. BitRegalo is decentralised infrastructure — the agent is replaced by a contract whose rules cannot bend.
Non-custodial
BitRegalo never takes custody. Every escrow lives in a smart contract, not in our accounts.
No admin key
The contract's only possible moves are toward the receiver or back to the issuer.
Multi-chain
The same escrow protocol, deployed across multiple networks. Pick the chain that fits.
Use cases
Where on-chain escrow changes everything
Construction
If the head contractor collapses, the subcontractors don't.
Every package is ring-fenced in its own escrow before work begins. Insolvency upstream can't reach what was committed downstream — the subbies who delivered still receive what was locked in for them.
Nonprofits & donations
Donate into escrow. Release on delivery.
Every contribution is publicly visible from pledge to release. Donors see exactly where it sits — and exactly when it moves.
Freelance & milestones
The engagement goes into escrow before work starts. Each milestone releases on acceptance.
Cross-border trade
Two parties who have never met, trading without a bank in the middle.
Grants & allocations
Every allocation visible to everyone. Whatever isn't released returns automatically at term.
Protocol
A protocol, not a promise.
Everything on this page is enforced by a published smart contract you can read, verify, and build on — on every chain we deploy to.
escrow.create(receiver, amount, term)
→ issuer.release() — settles to receiver
→ receiver.cancel() — returns to issuer
→ term.expire() — returns to issuer
