The escrow workflow, explained
How it works
Juvra makes freelance payment safe by holding funds in on-chain escrow until the work is approved. Here is the whole flow, in plain language.

The escrow lifecycle
Every job moves through the same transparent, on-chain path from posting to payment.
Connect your wallet
Sign in with your Web3 wallet on Arc Testnet. No account, no password — your wallet is your identity and your signature.
Post a job and fund escrow
The client defines the work, deadline, and budget, then locks the funds into an on-chain escrow contract in a single transaction.
A freelancer is selected
Freelancers browse open jobs and apply. The client picks one, which assigns the job on-chain. The work is now under contract.
Deliver the work
The freelancer submits the finished deliverable as a verifiable link. The job moves into review while the funds stay safely in escrow.
Approve and release payment
When the client approves the delivery, the escrow releases the funds to the freelancer. Wallet-confirmed and settled on Arc.
Resolve any issues
If the two sides disagree, either can raise a dispute. A neutral arbitrator reviews the evidence and resolves it — a refund to the client or a release to the freelancer.
Why it's safe
Funds are locked, not held by us
Escrow is an on-chain smart contract, not a company wallet. Juvra never takes custody of your money.
Wallet-confirmed settlement
Every money movement — funding, release, refund — requires a signature from the rightful party in their own wallet.
Neutral dispute resolution
If something goes wrong, a designated arbitrator can resolve the dispute. AI assists the review but never moves funds.
Common questions
Do I need crypto experience?+
No. If you can connect a wallet, you can use Juvra. The escrow handles the hard part for you.
What network and token does it use?+
Juvra runs on Arc Testnet and settles work in USDC.
Who holds my money?+
No one. Funds sit in the escrow smart contract until the work is approved or a dispute is resolved.
What if the work is never delivered?+
You can raise a dispute. A neutral arbitrator reviews the evidence and can refund the client.
Does the AI move my funds?+
Never. The Juvra agent is advisory only. Every action is confirmed by a human in their own wallet.
