The Zero-Escrow Handshake Protocol Explained
Online escrow systems often delay payouts to honest sellers or create dispute loops with fraudulent claims. Trendzza uses an immutable In-Person Handshake Protocol instead:
#### The 4-Step Handshake Flow
1. Buyer and Seller meet in person at a verified municipal Safe Exchange Zone.
2. The buyer inspects the item physically (powers on electronics, tests zippers, reviews vehicle paperwork).
3. Direct payment is settled directly between buyer and seller (via UPI or cash).
4. The buyer provides their 4-digit Handshake OTP to the seller, who enters it in the Trendzza app. The listing is marked Sold atomically, and both parties gain verified trust points.
Zero middleman cuts, zero payment holding, and complete physical certainty.
