Trustless Work introduces an escrow-based solution for grants, bounties, and hackathons on Stellar, making funding flows transparent and auditable. The platform locks sponsor funds upfront, maps winners on-chain, and releases payments only after multi-party approval, eliminating payment delays and opacity.
Trustless Work addresses a critical pain point in ecosystem funding: builders often don't get paid despite winning grants or hackathons. The platform uses Stellar-based escrow to make capital availability, approval, and release explicit before work begins. Funds are locked non-custodially by sponsors, milestones and winners are recorded on-chain, judges approve outcomes, and payments are released transparently with full auditability. The solution supports multiple roles—depositors, receivers, initiators, approvers, and release signers—creating accountability across sponsors, organizers, and builders. Trustless Work offers a product suite including a back office dApp, Escrow API, Next.js SDK, and public escrow viewer, enabling organizations to run hackathons, bounty programs, and grant distributions with verifiable capital flows and lower operational overhead.
