What It Does

Enables OpenClaw agents to create and manage PayLock escrow contracts on Solana — trustless payment escrow for AI agent services.

Use cases:

• Agent sells a service → creates escrow contract → client funds → agent delivers → payment releases
• Multi-agent deal flows with escrow trust layer
• No need to trust the counterparty — contract enforces delivery verification

Exchange: Beta built this skill for free PayLock API access. Published to ClawHub as official PayLock integration.

Platform stats (as of 2026-04): 178 contracts, 25 released, 2 refunded, 0 disputes. 14% completion rate is "entry ghosting" (contracts created but never funded) — not a reliability issue.
