Non-custodial escrow for stablecoin deals

Last verified July 2026 3 min read

What is Vaultion?

Vaultion product thumbnail

Vaultion is a non-custodial crypto escrow service for buyers and sellers who already have a deal and do not want either side to go first. The buyer creates the escrow, funds lock in a public smart contract, the seller delivers, and the buyer releases or opens a dispute. It supports USDC, USDT, DAI, and PYUSD across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Smart Chain, and TRON.

Why Vaultion works

Direct crypto deals punish the honest side because someone has to send first, and crypto has no simple chargeback once the money leaves. Vaultion moves that risk into a public contract with visible locked funds, stablecoin settlement, and a dispute path when delivery goes sideways. Payment waits on release or a ruling instead of sitting in a stranger's wallet.

Vaultion features

  • Public smart contract escrow. Funds stay in smart contracts through the escrow flow, not in a Vaultion wallet, and key actions can be checked on-chain against the relevant network and contract.
  • Stablecoin support. Deals can be created with supported stablecoins including USDC, USDT, DAI, and PYUSD, with availability depending on the network.
  • Five live networks. Live support covers Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Smart Chain, and TRON, so buyers can choose a network both sides can use.
  • Release or dispute flow. The buyer funds the escrow, the seller delivers, and the buyer either releases after review or opens a dispute if something is wrong.
  • Tiered platform fees. Platform fees are 4% from $50 to $499, 3% from $500 to $4,999, and 2% from $5,000 and up, paid at creation.
  • Read-only safety tools. Free tools help users build payment links, estimate fees, verify token addresses, check approvals, and choose a dispute model without private keys.

Who Vaultion is for

  • Crypto buyers and sellers who already found each other and need the payment locked before either side moves first.
  • Freelance clients and contractors using stablecoins for clear deliverables where the contractor wants proof of funds before starting.
  • Domain, website, NFT, or account traders who need a visible payment hold while the asset transfer is confirmed.
  • Small businesses testing a new supplier and wanting payment held until goods or services are accepted.

Similar micro SaaS ideas you can build

  • Evidence log for collector trades. A handoff tool for high-value cards and collectibles that stores condition photos, tracking, delivery proof, and acceptance steps so a dispute has a clean record.
  • Micro-acquisition handoff escrow. A payment workspace for buying small SaaS side projects, domains, or extensions where a buyer locks stablecoins and release is tied to a checklist of technical handoff steps: repo transfer confirmed, domain transfer confirmed, hosting access confirmed.
  • Equipment rental deposit escrow. A deposit-holding tool for renting camera gear, tools, or event equipment between individuals, where the renter's stablecoins are locked until the owner confirms return condition via photos, with partial release if damage is found.
