Peer-to-peer trade, secured by math — not middlemen.
TradeVault is a blockchain-native escrow platform built for the global economy. We eliminate the need for banks, payment processors, or blind trust in strangers — replacing them with cryptographically enforced smart contracts on Stellar.

Our Mission
Make international trade as safe as trading with a neighbor.
Every year, billions of dollars are lost to trade fraud, payment disputes, and broken trust in peer-to-peer markets. The existing solutions — escrow lawyers, PayPal, bank wire holds — are expensive, slow, and still rely on trusting a centralized institution.
We built TradeVault to invert this completely. Instead of trusting a company, you trust code — open, verifiable, and immutable code running on the Stellar blockchain. The rules of the trade are locked in at creation and cannot be changed by anyone, including us.

Core Values
What we stand for
Trust by Default
We don't ask you to trust us — we make the technology itself trustworthy. Every contract lives entirely on-chain where no human, including us, can intervene.
Borderless Access
TradeVault works for a freelancer in Lagos, a manufacturer in Shenzhen, and a buyer in Toronto. No bank account. No credit card. Just a Stellar wallet.
Radical Transparency
Every state change — from deal creation to fund release — is a verifiable on-chain event. Anyone can audit any contract at any time on Stellar Explorer.
Fair Dispute Resolution
When things go wrong, independent arbitrators review evidence submitted by both parties and issue a split verdict that the smart contract executes automatically.
Platform Features
Everything you need for safe, verifiable trade.
Smart Contract Escrow
Sellers deploy tamper-proof Stellar contracts. Funds only move when cryptographic conditions are met.
Atomic Fund Locking
Buyer's three-step acceptance, fund lock, and USDC transfer are grouped atomically — all succeed or none do.
Courier or Instant Delivery
Submit tracking numbers with proof images, or choose Instant Delivery for in-person handovers with auto-generated verifiable IDs.
Photo Evidence Uploads
Sellers and buyers upload up to 3 proof images. Evidence is stored securely in Supabase and surfaced during disputes.
On-chain Arbitration
Neutral arbitrators review all evidence and issue a proportional verdict. The smart contract splits the USDC accordingly.
SHA-256 Tracking Hash
Tracking IDs are permanently hashed on the Stellar blockchain — cryptographic proof of delivery that can't be altered.
Buyer Dispute Window
Buyers have a configurable window (set by the seller) to confirm or dispute after delivery. Funds auto-release on timeout.
Reputation System
Every completed deal writes an immutable reputation note on-chain, building verifiable trader profiles that anyone can check.
