Lock first
Funds enter a smart vault before the deal starts moving.
Pre-funded smart vault escrow
Trade with anyone. Settle by code.
Funds lock first. Release only when the deal is verified.
Real liquidityVault-backed offers
No custodianContract holds funds
Clear releaseState-based settlement
Trustless. But make it friendly.
how it works
A deal becomes contract states.
Middn does not ask two strangers to trust each other. It moves every deal through the same smart vault rhythm: lock, reserve, confirm, settle.
P2P
OTC
NFT
RWA
One vault handles the messy part.
Assets can be stablecoins, fiat rails, tokenized assets or negotiated deals. The product surface changes, but the escrow loop stays the same.
contract id
MDN-VAULT-72F
Reserve terms
The matching amount and deal rules are frozen for both sides.
Confirm payment
Payment or delivery is checked against the agreed flow.
Release or fallback
The vault settles, or routes conflict to 2/3 safe.
Bad deal patterns,
rejected by design.
risk found
Trust-me liquidity
"Available" as a vibe. A dashboard number with nothing actually reserved behind it.
VAULT_CHECK_01
Every offer must carry a vault receipt.
risk found
Custodial escrow
A platform holding the funds "for safety" becomes the biggest risk in the trade.
VAULT_CHECK_02
The contract holds. Middn coordinates.
risk found
Opaque release windows
Both sides waiting on vague confirmations while nobody knows what should happen next.
VAULT_CHECK_03
Release follows state, signature, or 2/3 safe.
where this goes
Marketplace today.
Marketplace today.
Settlement layer next.
The marketplace is the first surface. Under it, every vault becomes a reusable settlement primitive.
today / entry point
One surface. Many protected deal types.
Start with fiat and stablecoin trades. Keep the same smart vault loop for OTC, RWA, NFTs, desks, and builders.
vault primitive
LOCK -> CONFIRM -> RELEASE
Trade like the collateral
actually exists.
Every visible offer should map to funds already committed in a vault. Every payment step should be obvious. Every release should follow the same rule: verified state first, settlement after.
