Overview
Commit Protocol is a trustless escrow system for work that has to be validated before money moves. The product question was simple: how do you pay for work that is only partially observable?
What I built
- AI-assisted milestone proof validation.
- Escrow and optimistic settlement flows in Solidity.
- Discord.js notifications to keep the process visible.
- Foundry-backed contract testing.
What it taught me
The hard part was not the escrow contract. It was designing the incentives and failure modes around the contract so the workflow still felt usable to real people.
