How Retainer works

The client names the worker, the asset (HYPE or a token), up to 12 milestones with amounts, and a review period of 1 to 30 days. The whole budget moves into the contract when the deal is created. Tokens that tax transfers are refused, so every milestone is exact.

• Open: the worker calls deliver, the client may approve early or refund it to themselves.
• Delivered: the client may approve or, within the review period, dispute. After the review period the worker may claim it.
• Disputed: only the client's approve or the worker's refund can move it.
• Paid or Refunded: final.

• No owner and no arbiter, no pause, no upgrade.
• Money moves two ways: to the worker when a milestone is paid, or back to the client when it's refunded.
• Tested: approvals, timeouts, disputes and refunds. Not audited.
