# Sardis Escrow - Smart Contract Payment Protection

Secure agent-to-agent payments with smart contract escrow. Funds held until delivery confirmation, protecting both buyer and seller in autonomous transactions.

## Capabilities

- **Create Escrow**: Establish trustless payment agreements
- **Fund Escrow**: Deposit funds into smart contract custody
- **Confirm Delivery**: Seller confirms work/goods delivered
- **Release Payment**: Buyer releases funds after verification
- **Escrow Status**: Real-time escrow state tracking
- **Dispute Resolution**: Built-in arbitration for failed deliveries

## Security Model

**ESCROW-PROTECTED**: Funds locked in smart contracts until both parties confirm. No centralized custody.

## Quick Setup

export SARDIS_API_KEY=sk_your_key_here
