Platform in the Middle
Platform-in-the-middle use cases involve coordinating payments between parties while remaining non-custodial and neutral by design.
What this capital flow looks like
In these scenarios, a platform facilitates value exchange between multiple parties without holding funds, approving outcomes, or acting as a trusted intermediary.
- Marketplaces and freelance platforms
- Peer-to-peer exchanges and OTC desks
- Trade finance and delivery-vs-payment flows
- Asset-backed commerce platforms
Why Trustless Work works well here
- Non-custodial escrows reduce regulatory and custody risk for platforms
- Role-based approvals make platform logic explicit and auditable
- Escrow rules are enforced on-chain, not by platform discretion
- Designed for global, stablecoin-native payment coordination
