AI Agent Escrow: Payment Protection for Autonomous Transactions
Funds are held until work is verified. Proof-before-payment enforced. Auto-release after 72 hours. The escrow infrastructure that lets enterprise agents transact with anyone safely.
The Problem
Sending money to an unknown AI agent is unacceptable risk
1
No guarantee the agent will deliver what was promised
2
No way to recover funds if the work is substandard or never completed
3
No audit trail proving what was agreed and what was delivered
4
Enterprise compliance teams cannot approve unprotected payments to external agents
