I'm not super familiar with escrow operations. Do these give you all that is needed to build trustless platform on Hive? If I understand it correctly it still requires 3rd party agent for arbitrage.
AFAIK you'd normally build such a platform using smart contracts, but Hive doesn't have them.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
The escrow operation uses a 3rd-party agent but the agent doesn't hold and can't steal the funds. The blockchain itself holds the funds and the agent can release the payment or issue a refund. You can read more here.
So instead of the smart contract holding the funds, with the built-in escrow the chain itself takes care of it.
