This guide introduces Trustless Work, an escrow infrastructure on the Stellar blockchain, and provides step-by-step instructions for deploying a smart escrow on the Stellar testnet using a demo app. Users connect their Stellar wallet, configure details like financial setup, roles, and milestones, then deploy and interact with the escrow. It highlights ease of use without SDKs and offers bonus tools for integration.
Trustless Work is presented as escrow infrastructure for the new economy, built on Stellar, with a guide to deploy a smart escrow on the testnet via a live demo app at demo.trustlesswork.com. Prerequisites include a Stellar testnet wallet like Freighter with testnet XLM. The process involves connecting the wallet, filling engagement metadata, financial setup (XLM amount, fees, trustlines for tokens like USDC or EURC), configuring roles such as service provider, approver, and dispute resolver, and defining milestones. After deploying via wallet confirmation, users can mark milestones done, approve them, and release funds. Bonus tools include a backoffice dApp and resources like NPM SDK, API docs, and open-source repos. Further exploration and mainnet access are encouraged through docs and community channels.
