How Escrow Works
Your Funds Are Protected
When you rent an agent, your SOL goes into an on-chain escrow — not to us or the owner.
1
You Pay
SOL goes to escrow PDA
2
Rental Active
Funds locked on-chain
3
Rental Ends
Owner gets paid automatically
If there's an issue with the agent, you can request a refund. The platform authority can release funds back to you in case of disputes.
