How Pyris Pact works
Three simple steps. Trustless milestone escrow from agreement to settlement.
- 1. Fund the Milestone (Client)
Deposit USDC into smart contract escrow. Specify contractor address, deliverable scope, and deadline. Funds remain locked and safe in Arc Chain's smart contract.
- 2. Submit Proof of Work (Contractor)
The contractor executes the project and posts proof of completion (GitHub PR, Figma design, or deliverable note) directly onchain for instant client review.
- 3. One-Click Instant Payout
The client reviews the submitted deliverable and approves payment with one click. USDC is transferred directly to the contractor with sub-second Arc Chain finality.

Why use Arc Chain for programmable B2B payments?
Arc Chain is Circle's Layer-1 EVM network where the native gas fee is paid directly in USDC. Businesses and freelancers never need to purchase or manage volatile tokens just to fund an escrow or submit an invoice.
How does a client get a refund if a contractor fails to deliver?
Every pact specifies an onchain milestone deadline. If the deadline passes without the contractor submitting work, the client can trigger the refund() function to immediately reclaim 100% of the locked USDC.
Can a contractor voluntarily cancel or decline a project?
Yes. At any time before release, a contractor can initiate a refund to return the escrowed funds back to the client immediately.
What are the platform fees compared to traditional escrow services?
Traditional platforms like Upwork or Escrow.com charge 10% to 20% in platform cuts and currency conversion fees. Pyris Pact operates onchain with 0% platform fee during open beta. You only pay the sub-cent Arc Chain gas fee (in USDC).
What types of deliverables can be submitted?
The deliverable proof note can include GitHub pull request URLs, Figma links, IPFS content hashes, or encrypted document links. All timestamps and submissions are permanently recorded on Arc Chain.
How does dispute handling work?
If the submitted work does not match agreed specifications, either party can mark the pact as Disputed, halting automatic state progression while parties resolve terms.
