I've heard of smart contract escrows, although these are on alternate blockchains like Ethereum. Being not a technical person, neither can I vouch nor recommend them. However, if these are polished into perfection, it's way better. It's automated, on the blockchain therefore transparent, and objective since it only acts according to the specified conditions.

Inn the bitcoin realms, introducing such "smart" contracts simply add confusion in my perspective. I wonder if a kind or standard practice could be defined when payments are settled in bitcoin, P2P, for both small and high values items, shippable or digital. It would be a great advancement in the bitcoin circular economy.

Or maybe there's something I'm unaware of? The whole point of this topic was to ping escrow providers here in BT and to evaluate current tools and strategy they have currently in place.

I also understand that making this practices publicly available, maybe disrupt and make escrow services more vulnerable to attacks. Hope is not the case!
