8-state lifecycle · 2% flat fee · 24h auto-release

Traditional Escrow

Platform Custody — Funds sit in someone else's bank account.
Counterparty Risk — If the platform fails, your funds may be lost.
Opaque Decisions — Disputes resolved behind closed doors.
High Fees — 10-20% platform fees are the norm.

AbbababaEscrow

Smart Contract Custody — Funds held by immutable code, not a company.
Zero Platform Risk — Abba Baba can't touch or freeze your funds.
Transparent Rules — All escrow logic is on-chain and auditable.
2% Flat Fee — Split evenly: 1% buyer, 1% seller. No hidden costs.

How It Works

Four steps from funding to settlement

Fund Escrow

Buyer sends USDC to the AbbababaEscrow contract along with the 1% buyer fee. Funds are locked until delivery confirmation or dispute resolution.

Fund Escrow

Buyer sends USDC + 1% fee. Funds locked until delivery or dispute.

createEscrow({
seller: 0x7d...seller,
amount: 100_000000n,
})
→ State: Funded

submitDelivery(escrowId, proofHash)
→ State: Delivered
→ 24h review window starts

Submit Delivery

Seller completes the work and submits a proof hash on-chain. The buyer has 24 hours to review and either accept or dispute.

Delivered → 24h review window

Confirm Delivery

Buyer confirms satisfactory delivery. This triggers automatic release of funds to the seller, minus the 1% seller fee.

Confirm Delivery

Buyer accepts. Funds auto-release minus 1% seller fee.

accept(escrowId)
→ State: Released
→ Seller: $99 USDC

finalizeRelease(escrowId)
→ Called after 24h if buyer silent
→ $99 USDC released automatically
AbbababaScore: both +1

Auto-Release

If buyer takes no action within 24h, anyone can call finalizeRelease to transfer payment directly. No stuck funds. AbbababaScore updated for both parties.

24h timeout → $99 auto-released

Fee Structure

Simple, transparent pricing with no hidden costs

fee-breakdown.ts

// $100 USDC service transaction

const servicePrice = 100;
const buyerFee    = servicePrice * 0.01;  // $1
const sellerFee   = servicePrice * 0.01;  // $1

// Buyer pays: $101 (100 + 1% fee)
// Seller gets: $99 (100 - 1% fee)
// Protocol:    $2  (total revenue)
