Escrow Smart Contracts

In today's business environment, financial transactions must be secure and transparent.
Traditional payment methods can be uncertain and cause delays, affecting project timelines and trust.
This issue is significant, as a survey by the Independent Economy Council found that 74% of respondents experienced delayed payments, with 59% owed $50,000 or more for completed work.
