Thalos
is a programmable escrow platform built on Stellar. We eliminate counterparty risk by locking funds on-chain and releasing them automatically when predefined conditions are met.
About the Product
Thalos works by structuring agreements and securing funds until predefined conditions are met. When two parties create an agreement, the terms are defined upfront, scope, milestones, and release conditions. The payer then deposits the funds, which are secured on-chain using Stellar’s infrastructure.
Here’s how the flow works:
-The agreement is created inside Thalos, with clear conditions and deliverables.
-The payer connects their wallet using the Stellar Wallet Kit and deposits the agreed amount.
-Funds are locked and recorded on the Stellar network, ensuring transparency, immutability, and verifiability.
-Once the agreed conditions are fulfilled, the funds are released automatically to the recipient.
Stellar plays a fundamental role in this process. It provides the payment rails that make transactions fast, low-cost, and globally accessible. More importantly, it ensures that funds are securely held and transferred without relying on centralized intermediaries. Thalos abstracts the blockchain complexity from the user experience, while Trustless Work strengthens the escrow logic and agreement structure behind the scenes. The result is a system where trust is not assumed, it is enforced by design.
Problem & Solutions
Problem
People exchange money every day with someone they don’t fully trust, whether buying, selling, or working with new partners. One side is always forced to take the risk, with little protection if something goes wrong. This problem is frequent, costly, and blocks millions of real transactions where trust is the missing piece.
