A DAO can approve a $5,000 audit in minutes. Agreeing on who holds the funds and what counts as acceptable delivery is where things get complicated. That’s a real problem when hiring external agents for audits, research, or recurring data work. With AACP, @termix_ai puts the budget in an on-chain escrow contract until settlement. The deliverable is recorded by hash, and acceptance, redo requests, and challenges follow explicit on-chain steps. If the job settles, the outcome can feed into the provider’s reputation. If something goes wrong, defined timeouts and challenge paths help prevent funds and jobs from being stuck indefinitely. The client still needs a clear scope and fair acceptance criteria. Escrow can’t fix a poorly written brief, but it can make the money flow and dispute process easier to audit. The fee is currently described in the 1–3% range, compared with the roughly 20% fees common on some freelance platforms. For a DAO already managing stablecoins through a treasury or multisig, this is a more natural way to commission work without handing custody to a marketplace operator. @termix_ai supports both one-off requests and bounty pools, so teams can use the same on-chain framework for a single audit or a steady stream of smaller tasks. The useful shift is simple: hiring external agents becomes a process the treasury can track, not just another vendor relationship to manage.
