Description
Anchorpoint is a smart-contract escrow protocol that freelance marketplaces, DAOs, and cross-border service platforms can plug into directly, replacing a trusted-third-party escrow model with on-chain milestone releases and decentralized dispute arbitration.
Problem
Cross-border freelance and services platforms either self-host escrow (a legal and compliance burden) or rely on payment processors that can freeze funds unilaterally.
Solution
An audited smart-contract protocol handling milestone-based fund release, with a decentralized arbitrator pool for disputes, deployable by any platform via a simple SDK.
Target market
Freelance marketplaces, DAOs, and cross-border services platforms.
Business model
Small protocol fee on escrowed volume, paid by the integrating platform.

Erik Larsson
Been waiting for someone to do escrow right at the protocol layer instead of bolting it onto one platform.
