Escrow

Settle BTC and USDT with escrow on both sides

There is no account to open here. AMINA staff opens the escrow for the buyer or the seller and completes that side. Both parties then receive an email with a one-time code. That code is how they sign the agreement and submit a passport.

This escrow is not a bank deposit. Bitcoin is released to the buyer and USDT to the seller.

How an escrow is opened

Staff starts the file. Each party continues from the email they receive. If you leave before the escrow is finished, the same code opens the same link again.

  1. 01

    Staff opens it

    AMINA staff creates the escrow for the buyer or the seller and fills that side: the amounts, the passport, and the signature.

  2. 02

    The email arrives

    That party, and then the other party, each receive an email with a six-digit code and a secure link.

  3. 03

    Sign and identify

    Enter the code to sign the agreement and submit a passport. There is no sign-up and no sign-in on this website.

  4. 04

    Deposit and release

    The seller sends BTC on Bitcoin. The buyer sends USDT on TRON (TRC20). Credit needs 3 Bitcoin confirmations or 19 TRON confirmations. BTC goes to the buyer and USDT to the seller after two different staff members approve.

A 2.50% fee, shared

Each side pays 1.25% of the asset it deposits. The fee is fixed when the escrow is created and printed in the signed agreement. There is no charge if the escrow is refunded before release.

Example · 1 BTC for 100,000 USDT

Seller deposits
1 BTC
Released to the buyer
0.9875 BTC
Buyer deposits
100,000 USDT
Released to the seller
98,750 USDT

Protect both sides of the trade

Encrypted identity files

Passports are encrypted in private storage. They are never emailed, and every view is logged.

Chain-verified deposits

A deposit is credited only when it matches the escrow address, the amount, and the required confirmations. USDT must come from the official TRC20 contract.

A record of every step

Agreements are versioned and hashed, signatures are timestamped, and every administrative action is recorded.

Questions

What does the escrow hold?

The seller deposits BTC and the buyer deposits USDT (TRC20). BTC is released to the buyer and USDT to the seller.

Which networks are supported?

Bitcoin on the Bitcoin network, and Tether USDT on TRON (TRC20) only.

Can the other party see my passport?

Only if you allow it, and only after they enter the one-time code sent to their email. The passport image is never attached to an email.

How do I open an escrow?

You do not. AMINA staff opens it for the buyer or the seller. You continue from the email, with the one-time code, to sign and submit your passport.

What if only one side deposits?

Nothing is released. After the deadline, the party who deposited can request a refund. A refund uses the same two-person approval as a release.
