How does crypto escrow protect freelancers?

The client deposits payment upfront into a smart contract. The freelancer sees the funds locked on-chain — guaranteed money, not a promise. Upon delivery, the client confirms and the freelancer withdraws instantly.

Can I use milestone-based escrow for projects?

Yes. For larger projects, milestone-based escrows let both sides break work into phases. Each milestone has its own escrow, delivery period, and release trigger.

What fees does Palindrome charge for freelance escrow?

A 1% platform fee on successful withdrawals plus standard Base network gas. Still significantly cheaper than traditional freelance platforms that charge 20-30% plus payment processing fees.

What if the client doesn't release payment?

If there's a dispute, an appointed arbiter reviews the evidence and decides the outcome. Funds stay locked until it's resolved.
