Hold my funds safely until I receive what was agreed.
Paying a remote worker should not mean hoping for the best. Reclaim protects your USDC until the work is delivered and approved.
Why a direct wallet transfer creates ambiguity
A wallet transfer proves that money moved from one address to another. It does not prove what the payment was for, what was promised in return, or whether the work was completed. When you pay a freelancer directly, you are trusting an informal agreement. If they do not deliver, you have no clear path to recover your funds.
How Reclaim protects you
Define clear deliverables
Before any USDC is deposited, you specify the exact deliverable, deadline, release rule, and the evidence you expect to receive. The worker sees every term and must accept before the agreement is locked.
Protect your funds
Your USDC is held in escrow under the terms both sides reviewed. You cannot be debited twice. The worker cannot withdraw the funds without your approval or a reviewed settlement.
Review evidence against the terms
When the worker submits delivery, you review the evidence against what was agreed. If the work matches the terms, you approve release and the funds transfer to the worker.
Open a dispute when something is wrong
If the delivery does not meet the agreed terms, you open a dispute within the dispute window. The payment is frozen. Both sides submit claims and evidence.
Receive a readable outcome
AI organizes the case. Independent reviewers assess it against the original terms. The contract settles the outcome on Celo. You receive a plain-language receipt explaining the result and how to verify it.
Reclaim does not side with either party. It holds funds to the agreed terms and provides a fair process when the parties disagree. The agreement, evidence, and timeline are visible to both sides throughout.
Protect your next payment
Pay only under terms both sides can see.
