Alright is a peer-to-peer agreements app to safely exchange goods & services with anyone through decentralized escrow.

It enables two people to lock in an agreement to buy or sell something remotely, secure the deal with collateral as a security deposit, and release the payment when they are both ready. Alright is for any transaction that comes with some counterparty risk of non-performance, and it is faster, easier, and cheaper than using traditional middleman escrow services.

Buying or selling through Alright is as easy as 1, 2, 3:

### &#x20;1 - Agree the terms

Agree your payment terms with a security deposit and lock in the deal together.

### 2 - Do your thing

Do your thing! Finish the job, send the stuff, and make sure everything's alright.

### 3 - Complete the deal

When you are both ready, send the payment forward and release the collateral.
