Artha Network

Decentralized AI-Powered Escrow Protocol

The Problem

I built this because I've lived the problem. I've been on the wrong end of peer-to-peer transactions — scams, broken trust, no recourse. Traditional escrow services exist, but they cost too much to justify for everyday deals like buying a used car or paying a freelancer. That cost barrier kills the velocity of money.

The Solution

A non-custodial escrow protocol on Solana using smart contracts and AI arbitration, settled in USDC for real-world usability. Blockchain and AI make escrow dead cheap and reliable, increasing the velocity of money and making crypto adoption practical for day-to-day transactions.
