Use cases
One foundation. Any kind of commercial deal.
SafePay's foundation is deliberately general: an Agreement between a buyer and a seller, funded, held securely in a smart contract, and released on a defined condition. What changes between use cases is only which release conditions and roles are active, never the core engine underneath.
Who it’s for
Built for every side of the table.
Buyers
Pay for goods, services, or freelance work knowing your money is only released once your side of the deal is honored.
Sellers
Get paid in the currency you want, from a buyer paying in whatever they have, with the amount you agreed to protected from day one.
Brokers & agents
Run deals through SafePay whether you earn a disclosed commission or trade as a principal between two linked agreements.
Arbitrators
Review evidence and resolve disputes through a structured process built to support fair, even partial, decisions.
Businesses
Handle cross-border supplier or client payments without wiring money on faith or chasing invoices across time zones.
Marketplaces
Embed SafePay's trust layer directly into your own platform through the API, instead of building escrow from scratch.
Mapped to an agreement
How each deal type actually works underneath.
The scope is deliberately broad rather than one vertical. Here's how six common deal types map onto the same Agreement lifecycle.
Cross-border goods purchase
A buyer funds a deal on order. Release triggers on delivery confirmation or when an inspection window lapses without objection.
Freelance & service work
Single or milestone release, so funds move as agreed work stages are actually completed and approved, not just promised.
Marketplace transactions
A marketplace embeds SafePay via API so every listing is escrow-backed by default, without building trust infrastructure from scratch.
Facilitated deals
A broker earns a disclosed commission for introducing a buyer and seller, all inside one Agreement both sides can see.
Trading & principal brokerage
A broker acts as principal across two linked Agreements, earning a transparent margin between them rather than a hidden one.
High-value B2B trade
Enhanced KYC kicks in automatically above a configurable value threshold, with external verification conditions for shipping and customs.
