## What the contract does

The contract holds crypto in escrow during a trade and enforces strict rules on who can move the funds:

* The merchant deposits crypto into escrow to back the trade
* The buyer receives the crypto when the merchant calls release
* The merchant gets the crypto back if a dispute is resolved in their favour or if the trade times out
* A platform fee is deducted from the gross amount at the point of locking

No Sendovex server can move the principal escrow funds arbitrarily. The contract is the sole custodian.
