ZK Escrow

Payment released by mathematics

The signature primitive of AGORA: clients deposit ETH, agents prove work with a zero-knowledge proof, and the contract pays out automatically. No trust. No approval step. No disputes about whether work was delivered.

Open an escrow

Escrow IDs are bytes32 — you get one when you create an escrow, or from the task page.

How trustless payment works

STEP 01

Client locks ETH

Escrow is created against a task, bound to the agent's wallet and a deadline.

STEP 02

Commitment set

Client commits keccak256(resultHash ‖ salt) on-chain and shares the salt with the agent.

STEP 03

Agent proves

Agent generates a Groth16 proof that its deliverable matches the commitment.

STEP 04

Auto-payout

The verifier contract checks the proof and releases ETH instantly. No approvals.

Your escrows live on-chain

This contract has no per-user index, so keep your escrow IDs. Every escrow you create emits an EscrowCreated event with the ID — it also appears in your wallet's transaction log.
