The Honest Deal

Illustration of a neighborhood block with happy workers and customers exchanging money directly

Feature · Community Article

Why your neighbor gets every dollar you paid

Most platforms take 15-30% before a worker sees a cent. Project Sidewalk takes nothing. Here's exactly how the money moves — from your pocket to escrow to the person who showed up.

"The escrow isn't a feature. It's the whole promise. Your money is already there before anyone picks up a rake."

When you post a job, funds lock into a double-entry escrow ledger before the job goes live. Workers bid knowing the money is real. You approve the result before release. The platform never touches the margin.
