Tradewind static single-file preview — no backend

Milestone escrow · double-entry ledger

Hold funds in escrow. Release on approval. Every cent reconciles.

Tradewind is a services marketplace where clients fund milestones up front, freelancers deliver, and money releases on approval — minus a transparent platform fee. Every movement is an immutable double-entry ledger entry that always balances.

Milestone-gated escrow

Clients fund a milestone via Stripe Checkout. Funds are held until the work is approved — the redirect is never proof of payment; the verified webhook is.

A ledger that always balances

Every fund, release, refund, split, and payout posts balanced double-entry legs. An automated reconciliation proves total debits equal credits.

Disputes, resolved fairly

Either party can dispute a delivered milestone. An admin refunds, releases, or splits the funds — every action captured in an immutable audit trail.
