how it works

When You Need Escrow

Use cases where our secure escrow service makes sense

Private Crypto Trades

Direct deals with strangers where trust hasn't been established yet

Risk Mitigation

Protecting yourself from "send funds first" scams in P2P trading

Clear Terms

Defining exact conditions before any money moves hands

Dispute Prevention

Having neutral third-party verification for trade completion

Important Note

We do not facilitate buyer–seller matching. All trades are arranged independently and agreed offline before escrow is created.

TrueNorth acts only as a neutral settlement layer. The seller locks funds into escrow, shares the escrow code with the buyer, and the buyer joins to complete the agreed payment. Crypto is released only after all escrow conditions are met and confirmed.

How Escrow Works

A structured, secure process designed to protect both buyer and seller

01

Seller Creates Escrow

The seller initiates a new escrow transaction by defining trade terms. A unique escrow code and a secure system-generated escrow wallet address are created instantly.

What Happens in This Step

  • Free account registration
  • Clear trade terms and conditions defined
  • Unique escrow code generated for buyer access
  • Dedicated escrow wallet created for the transaction
02

Seller Funds the Escrow

The seller deposits the agreed cryptocurrency into the designated escrow wallet. Once confirmed on-chain, the assets are securely locked within the escrow system until release conditions are met.

What Happens in This Step

  • Crypto deposited into secure escrow address
  • Funds remain locked until trade completion
  • Escrow status visible to both parties
03

Buyer Joins & Makes Payment

The buyer joins the escrow using the shared escrow code. The buyer completes the agreed off-platform payment and marks the transaction as paid within the system.

What Happens in This Step

  • Buyer securely joins using escrow code
  • Payment made as per agreed trade terms
  • Optional upload of payment proof
  • Real-time status tracking for both parties
04

Seller Confirms & Escrow Releases

After verifying payment receipt, the seller confirms and requests release. The system validates predefined trade conditions before securely releasing the locked cryptocurrency to the buyer’s specified wallet.

What Happens in This Step

  • Seller confirms payment receipt
  • Automated rule-based release validation
  • Crypto transferred to buyer’s wallet
  • Dispute resolution support if required
