Crown multisig escrow, in plain words
Every Crown order settles through 2-of-3 multisig. Here is what that does, why it matters, and what actually changes for you.
Multisig escrow is the line between a market you can use with some confidence and one that can vanish with your coin overnight. Crown runs 2-of-3 multisig as the default contract on every order.
What 2-of-3 means
Three keys per order: yours, the vendor's, and the platform's. Funds move only when any two of the three sign off. Normal flow: you sign on delivery, the vendor counter-signs, the platform stays out of it. Dispute flow: the platform's key arbitrates and signs with whichever side the desk rules for.
Here is the protection. For a platform to exit-scam, it would have to talk a majority of vendors into signing away their own money. Single-sig escrow makes an exit one quiet decision. Multisig makes it nearly impossible. That gap is the whole point.
What changes for you
Almost nothing day to day. You order the same way; the contract runs underneath. You only feel it in a dispute, where the desk's call is final because the platform's third key breaks the tie. New to Crown? Start with the access walkthrough.
