Version Update: New Contract Types, API Changes, and React Integration

🚀 What’s New?

We just shipped one of our biggest updates yet. This is a leap forward in modularity, clarity, and dev experience.

🔁 Two Escrow Types: Choose Your Flow

We now support two distinct escrow contract types:

Single-Release: One-shot payouts. Great for one-off gigs or transactions with multiple milestones but a single payout (All milestones have to be approved for release).
Multi-Release: Milestone-based, and flexible. Ideal for freelance projects, grants, or phased payouts (Each milestone is approved and released independently).

🧠 Smarter API Design

We’ve restructured the API to reflect this dual-contract logic. All endpoints are now scoped by escrow type:

Old: POST /escrow/fund-escrow

New:

POST /single-release/fund-escrow
POST /multi-release/fund-escrow

Every critical endpoint now uses this structure, including:

initialize-escrow
release-funds
change-milestone-status
approve-escrow
resolve-dispute
get-escrow

We also did some name changes, learn more here

⚛️ New React Library (Beta)

Milestone updates and approvals

🧰 Backoffice & Demo dApp — Upgraded and Open

Both our Backoffice dApp and Demo dApp have been upgraded to support the new Single-Release and Multi-Release contract flows.

The Backoffice dApp now includes a revamped UX for managing roles, viewing milestones, and releasing funds.
The Demo dApp shows exactly how to interact with the API and escrows from a frontend interface.

🔁 Clone them, fork them, customize them. They’re built to help you ship faster.
