Unicrow is a censorship-resistant payment and escrow protocol that enables two parties to trade goods, assets, or services in the real world in a trust-minimized, efficient, and secure way. Marketplaces and other platforms can integrate Unicrow for trades between their users without exposing or holding custody of their user's funds. The protocol reduces their operational expenditures and regulatory exposure thanks to its efficient, yet secure withdrawal mechanism, and non-custodial escrow design. Unicrow also supports 3rd party arbitration while minimizing trust and security requirements on the arbitrators, and for situations where arbitration is not available, it introduces a unique and innovative challenge mechanism that provides recourse without a requirement for the 3rd party.
