JoobEscrow Litepaper

1. The problem

Paying someone you have never met is a trust problem. The client fears paying for work that never arrives; the freelancer fears delivering work that is never paid. Marketplaces solve this by holding the money, but many keep 20–30% of the deal, control the funds and can freeze accounts. In Web3 deals (KOL campaigns, development, design, OTC), there is often no trusted middleman at all, and someone has to send first.

2. The solution: on-chain escrow

JoobEscrow replaces the middleman with an audited smart contract on BNB Smart Chain. The client's USDT or USDC is locked in the contract and released to the provider when the work is approved. Nobody, including JoobEscrow, can move escrowed funds outside the rules of the contract.

1. Create & fund: the client locks the payment in the contract.
2. Accept: the provider accepts the deal. Before acceptance, the client can cancel for a full refund.
3. Release: when the work is approved, the client releases the funds.
4. Timeout: if the client stays silent after the deadline, the provider can claim the payment.
5. Withdraw: each party withdraws what it is owed (pull payments), at any time, even if the contract is paused.

Disputes: either party can open a dispute and submit evidence. The JoobEscrow arbitration multisig can split the funds in any proportion from 0 to 100%. If a dispute is abandoned for 30 days, either party can trigger a 50/50 split directly in the contract, so funds are never locked forever. Parties can talk through end-to-end encrypted wallet-to-wallet messaging (XMTP). Details: how disputes work.

3. Fees

The client pays 0%. The provider pays a fee of 10%, 8%, 5%, 3% or 2% depending on the category (one audited contract per tier), taken only on the amount the provider actually receives. Using JoobEscrow never requires the JOOB token. A $1 demo lets anyone run a real escrow between two of their own wallets: try it with $1.

4. Security model

• Audits by SpyWolf: escrow V4, JOOB token, presale, staking. An audit reduces risk but does not remove it.
• All contracts are verified on BscScan and owned by a 3-of-5 Safe multisig: no single person can act alone.
• Fee, fee recipient and limit changes go through a public 2-day timelock.
• Accounting invariant: the contract balance always covers locked funds plus amounts owed to users.
• Emergency pause stops new escrows and releases, never withdrawals or dispute resolution.
• Full list of contracts and audit details: security page.

5. The JOOB token

JOOB is the BEP-20 utility token of the JoobEscrow ecosystem, with a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000: no mint function, no transfer tax. It is designed to be the key to the protocol:

• Governance: JOOB holders vote on protocol decisions such as new categories, fee tiers and ecosystem grants. Votes start off-chain and move to on-chain governance.
• Fee reductions: providers who stake JOOB pay lower fees, by tier, up to a full fee waiver at the highest tier (with Escrow V5). Staked tokens are locked while the benefit applies.
• Staking: stake JOOB to earn JOOB rewards, distributed in 30-day periods from the ecosystem allocation, with a 7-day withdrawal delay. The contract is already deployed and audited by SpyWolf; it opens after the TGE. Rewards depend on the amounts funded and the total staked: no yield is guaranteed.
• PerShare: JOOB holders above a threshold pay 0% fees on PerShare, our collective-pool app (from the TGE).
• Visibility & rewards: boosts and badges paid in JOOB, affiliate rewards in JOOB, Early Escrow points.

These features ship progressively and are not guaranteed by a given date. JOOB gives no ownership, profit, dividend or revenue right in JoobEscrow, and the escrow service works without it.

6. The Joob ecosystem

Two building blocks, one token.

• JoobEscrow (1 → 1): secures a deal between two parties; funds stay locked on-chain until the work is approved.
• PerShare (many → 1 goal): a collective pool where up to 50 members fund one goal, the group validates together, or everyone is refunded automatically. An advanced proof of concept, live on BNB Chain with three fee tiers (0.5%, 1%, 2%) and audited by SpyWolf (pershare.org).
• One token, JOOB: no second token and no second sale. JOOB powers governance, fee tiers and staking on JoobEscrow, and 0% fees on PerShare above a holding threshold. Next step: PerShare pools that directly fund a JoobEscrow escrow (e.g. several sponsors co-funding one campaign, paid only on delivery).

Co-funded escrow (planned).Several sponsors or community members pool funds on PerShare, and the pool opens a JoobEscrow escrow as one client. Funds stay locked until the work is delivered and approved by the group. If the deal is cancelled or a dispute goes the group's way, the refund returns to the pool and each member gets their pro-rata share, in the same currency. Planned with JoobEscrow V5 and PerShare V2; audited before launch.

7. Tokenomics

Transparency commitment: allocations not yet in a vesting contract stay in our 3-of-5 Safe multisig. Every outgoing JOOB transfer from the Safe is publicly disclosed with its purpose and transaction link. Tokens allocated to partners are locked in their own on-chain vesting contract. 100% of unsold presale tokens are returned to the Safe and burned in a public, verifiable transaction after the sale.

8. Presale

• Opens October 15, 2026, 14:00 UTC; ends January 13, 2027, 13:59:59 UTC (up to 3 extensions of 20 days).
• Price: $0.001 at start, +$0.0002 every 2 days, computed by the contract. Payment in USDT or USDC (BEP-20).
• Sealed vault: the full cap of 163,500,000 JOOB was deposited before the sale could open, verifiable on BscScan.
• Vesting for every buyer: 20% at sale end, then linear over 180 days. No soft cap, no refund.
• Volume bonus 2% to 7% from $100 to $1,000 cumulative; referrers receive 2% of the tokens bought through their link.
• Planned listing: JOOB/USDT pool on PancakeSwap at $0.02. After listing, the price is set by the market only.

Full rules: presale terms · presale page.

9. Use of funds

Funds raised are held by our 3-of-5 Safe multisig and every outgoing transfer is disclosed. The DEX allocation of the tokenomics is a cap: liquidity is added at the listing price with the share of funds above, without any promise of depth.
