π³Funding the Contract: How Clients Deposit to Escrow
Clients fund contracts through smart contract escrow on Midcontract β using stablecoins or fiat. Funds stay locked until work is delivered and approved.
Once both parties have accepted the terms, completed identity verification, and connected wallets, the client can fund the contract to activate it.
