Proof-of-Pass escrow for digital work

Pay for digital work only when it passes the check you agreed on.

Northset holds payment in escrow until the work passes a check you and the worker agreed on before it started. If it passes, the worker is paid and you get a verifiable receipt; if it doesn't, your money comes back.

How it works

First orders are prepaid by invoice. The steps below show on-chain settlement, available when you ask for it.

  1. Agree the check

    You bring one task and the rule that decides pass or fail. Scope, fee, and deadline are fixed in writing.

  2. Funds lock in escrow

    Payment is held before work begins. The worker posts a bond against the deadline, so both sides have something at stake.

  3. Pay on pass, with a receipt

    A valid proof in time pays the worker. After the deadline, the buyer can receive the payment and the bond.

The full settlement mechanism

What you get

A rule written down first

The check is agreed before anyone starts. It fixes the payment condition, without promising dispute-free or fully correct work.

Payment held, not promised

Funds sit in escrow for the length of the task and move only on the result.

A record your auditors can read

Each settlement leaves a receipt with the check, the result, and a public transaction reference.
