Escrowable: Timing-Driven Tensors That Hold and Release on Your Terms
Traditional money moves instantly — or not at all. But real-world transactions often involve conditions, delays, or approvals. ProofPay introduces Escrowable Tensors, tokens that can be held, unlocked, or auto-released based on time, events, or external validations — all without middlemen.
It’s money that waits, watches, and acts — just like a smart contract, but simpler and more secure.
What Does “Escrowable” Mean?
An Escrowable Tensor is programmable to:
- Lock funds until a deadline, approval, or trigger event
- Auto-release tokens after fulfillment of preset conditions
- Hold tokens in pending state during disputes, arbitration, or prepayment
- Act like a digital contract with built-in terms and timing
- Support approvals from multiple parties before a release happens
No third-party escrow service needed — the rules attached to the Tensor itself.
Real-World Use Cases
| Scenario | How Escrow Works |
|---|---|
| Marketplace transaction | Buyer sends token in escrow; seller receives it after item is delivered |
| Parental funding | Child receives allowance token that unlocks on school days only |
| Grant disbursement | NGO receives staged funding tied to milestone verifications |
| Subscription model | Tensors release monthly for recurring service payments |
| Job contracts | Freelancer receives payment only after approval by client |
Conditional Logic You Control
Every Escrowable Tensor can carry:
- Start and end times
- Release conditions (e.g., approvals, external triggers, confirmations)
- Failover rules (e.g., refund to sender if deadline expires)
- Multi-party workflows (e.g., both buyer and seller must approve)
It’s like attaching time-based intelligence to your money.
Dispute-Resistant by Design
- Escrow flow is transparent to all parties
- Misuse is prevented by hard-coded logic
- No human intervention needed to trigger payout
- Recovery and refund logic are embedded
- Reduces fraud, hesitation, and miscommunication
Bottom Line
ProofPay makes digital money act like a fair deal — not just a fast transfer.
Escrowable Tensors are ideal for trust-minimized transactions where timing, delivery, or confirmation matters. Whether it’s buying, hiring, lending, or splitting — the Tensor makes sure nobody loses, and everyone is protected.
