Release pending wallet verification

Transfer verification

Confirm wallet receipt before seller payout

Domain escrow waits on registrar control. NFT escrow waits on the buyer holding the right token at the agreed address.

  • Seller sends the NFT or tokens to the buyer wallet named in the agreement
  • Buyer confirms the correct contract and token ID during the inspection window
  • Escrow releases payment only after verification or inspection expiry

How it works

Five steps from terms to payout

Buyer and seller follow one transaction file from funding through on-chain transfer to payment release.

Step 1

Record asset details

Chain, contract, token ID, and price are fixed on the transaction before anyone funds.

  • USD price quoted on the transaction record
  • Buyer wallet and seller payout destination nominated up front
Step 2

Buyer funds escrow

Payment moves into licensed custody. The seller sees funded status on the same deal file.

Step 3

Seller transfers on-chain

The NFT or tokens are sent to the buyer wallet. Both parties reference the same contract and token ID.

Step 4

Buyer verifies receipt

The buyer checks their wallet during the inspection period and accepts, or opens a dispute.

Step 5

Seller is paid

Escrow releases once verification passes. Sellers can take fiat payout in supported regions.

How escrow works →

Protection

Built for transfers that cannot be reversed

On-chain sends are final. Escrow keeps buyer payment in custody until the correct asset is verified in the buyer wallet.

Buyer

  • Terms fixed before you pay

    Contract address and token ID are on the transaction record before you fund.

  • Inspection before release

    You confirm wallet receipt during the inspection window — not when the seller asks.

  • Disputes pause payout

    Wrong contract, wrong token, or missing transfer — funds stay held while the case is reviewed.

Seller

  • Funded escrow before transfer

    You see verified custody before you send an irreversible on-chain transaction.

  • Release tied to acceptance

    Payout follows buyer sign-off or inspection expiry, not informal chat.

  • Payout to your account

    Receive funds to your nominated wallet or bank once conditions clear.

Use cases

Common OTC and brokered deals

  • Private gallery sale

    A collector buys a 1/1 outside a marketplace. Payment sits in escrow until the piece is in their wallet under the agreed contract.

  • Token allocation delivery

    A project delivers locked tokens to an investor. Quantity and contract are on the deal record; release waits on wallet confirmation.

  • Brokered secondary trade

    A broker coordinates buyer and seller. Neither party pays or transfers directly until EscrowBolt verifies the chain of custody.
