Escrow

An escrow service allows safer payment by securely holding a buyer’s coins in escrow until the terms of the sale are met and as a result the buyer releases payment to the seller. In most cases no dispute is filed and no 3rd party action is needed. IEP provides a decentralized escrow service based on the new enhanced transaction types. If you’re selling your car or house using IEP decentralized asset service you can easily put the funds up in Escrow and when the title is delivered in your name you release the money.

Even the title can be delivered using a IEP Smart Contract and get this, it costs less than a few pennies to make all of this happen and unlike traditional banking and selling transactions it doesn’t cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. Escrow can have as much as up to 10 co-signers and provides several decision actions like return, split, release.
