Escrow payment platforms

This cluster comprises platforms that use escrow to secure payments, often for freelance work or peer-to-peer transactions, with a mix of blockchain-based and traditional implementations. The dated history before the index start shows eight entries across five months, including a couple in mid-2025 and a small group in early 2026. Traction is led by mercato and exchange-platform, each with one activity signal star, while the remaining members show minimal or no activity.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
