Silence still pays · optimistic payments for client work on Solana

Get paid on sign-off.
Or on silence.

The client puts each milestone into escrow before you start. You deliver. The client has a fixed window to approve, request a change or dispute. Clients keep that full window. They just can't ghost: if they say nothing, you get paid.

still (German): quiet. still (English): even so. If your client stays still, you still get paid.

1 · FundMoney first

The client funds the milestone in USDC. It sits in its own escrow account that only the program's rules can open.

2 · DeliverSubmit

The freelancer submits a link and a note. Their fingerprint goes on-chain, so any later edit shows.

3 · ReviewSilent Yes

The client approves, sends one of the agreed change requests, or disputes. If the review window ends in silence, the money goes to the freelancer. No one can block it.

4 · Disagree?Split, arbiter, default

Both sides can agree on a split. If not, a named arbiter decides. If nobody decides in time, the split both agreed up front applies. Money never stays locked.

Why this needs Solana

Nobody holds the money

Not the client, not the freelancer, not us. Each milestone sits in a program-owned account and only moves by the rules both sides accepted.

Deadlines enforce themselves

After the review window anyone can trigger the release: the freelancer needs neither the client nor our server.
