BitEscrow
summary
BitEscrow delivers a working noncustodial escrow stack: pre-signed transactions and a two-of-two multisig deposit address with a timelocked refund, so the service holds signatures not funds and cannot steal deposits. Contracts update off-chain like a Lightning channel for near-instant settlement and repeated state changes, and on-chain settlements appear as normal Bitcoin transactions because contracts are privacy by default: on-chain looks like normal TX. Open-source SDK, playground and testnet deployments exist, with transparent fees <=1%.
