Description

Vaultion is a non-custodial crypto escrow protocol for stable coin deals. Funds lock in an open-source smart contract and release on agreement by timeout or by a dispute ruling -settles either by Kleros's decentralized court or by Vaultion-assisted human review. It's live on Ethereum, Arbitrum One and Base, needs no account or KYC to start, and every escrow is verifiable on-chain

Key Features
- Non-custodial smart escrow: funds are held by an open source contract, not by Vaultion- no operator can move them outside the rules written into the contract.

- Two dispute paths: Choose trustless Kleros arbitration or Vaultion-assisted human review, where a freeze only guardian can pause a ruling but never redirect funds.

- Multi-chain stablecoin support: Escrow USDT, USDC, DAI and PYUSD across Ethereum, Arbitrum One and Base.

- No account, no KYC: Connect a wallet and start-every escrow is verifiable on a block explorer before you commit to anything

Benefits
- Neither side goes first: The buyer's funds are secured in a contract before the seller delivers, so nobody has to pay or ship into thin air.

- Verify instead of trust: Read the contract and see the funds locked on-chain before committing-you trust code, not a company's promise

- Final settlement- no chargebacks: on-chain release is final, so sellers aren't exposed to a payment being reversed after they've delivered
