About Escrow

Escrow means an independent third party acting as guarantor for fulfilling the obligations of the seller. Thus an escrow agent appears, escrow technology. On the Internet, escrow technology began to be implemented in 2009. This technology is used by eBay and Aliexpress. For example, transaction security partners for eBay and FedEx have licensed online escrow.com services.

Aliexpress and hkin.com offer protection on their sites at the expense of their own escrow services. In the PayPal and Webmoney systems, this service is also implemented. In Russia, there are examples of using escrow on the freelance fl.ru market, and CashPass popular in the gaming industry.

Now escrow technology is becoming popular for the blockchain platform. About one of them is PayFair.io.

Escrow-Nodes

Escrow-nodes ensure the integrity of a trade between parties. Escrow nodes are secured by PFR tokens, meaning every decision in the ecosystem is ensured by value and is performed by a real person. When this is combined with an Escrow rating system it further supports its ability to rid the platform of bad actors.

How This Functions

The self-regulation system consists of independent escrow records and trust nodes (i.e., PFR token owners). The heart of the Payfair ecosystem is the PFR token. This ensures that transactions between Payfair users are insured with their PFR tokens. Interest commissions from transactions are distributed every month among all trust points (PFR holders).

This system includes independent Trust nodes and Escrow nodes. Trust nodes perform the function of a traditional escrow. They are owners of the PFR token, which sits at the heart of the ecosystem. The PFR token ensures trades on the platform are insured using PFR tokens at stake. PayFair collects a small fee to keep it running and also distributes a percentage of this fee to the Trust nodes every month. In this way, holders of PFR earn a profit by holding tokens. The Escrow nodes replace miners in the PFR ecosystem. They run the network and record transactions in the ledger.

The PayFair ecosystem is intended to allow users to swap their coins, goods or services with one another in a protected manner without the need for a third party. If you take a look at the PayFair website where transactions are recorded you can see that most of the participants are looking to get funds in their own government issued currencies using Paypal, Perfect Money, bank transfers or even cash. While at present their ecosystem seems to be limited to financial transactions, in the future it would likely not be difficult to include physical items which could be verified via a tracking number and photographs as evidence of delivery. This functionality will likely progress naturally as the user base increases.

There are two main ways to earn income based on the token, Escrow Nodes and Trust nodes:

Escrow nodes

The node ensures the integrity of the trade between the two parties, and currently the PayFair team has announced that you need $250 worth of PFR to hold a node. There will be some active work involved with these nodes where you might have to mediate in different trades. 40% of the fees involved with the escrow nodes will be distributed to all Trust node holders monthly.

Trust Node

Everyone that sets up a Trust node, will help provide a more stable and safer system for the platform. Here you just have to leave the wallet online and don’t have to do anything else. This is similar to other staking coins, such as Reddcoin. The team has announced that you need 10,000 PFR to set up a Trust node, and you can stake and get proportional returns if you get 15,000 or 20,000 etc tokens. In the Trust nodes 80% of the transaction fees will be distributed back monthly.

UNIQUE INNOVATIONS

Escrow independence is achieved through anonymity, thus does not depend on contractors.
Decentralized escrow meaning those who run the nodes are not linked to any third party but are engaged independently.
An escrow rating system will ensure a high level of customer service and reliance when disputes occur.
A buyer, seller, and contractor rating system to ensure those who provide a reliable and/or smooth transaction are highlighted.
Full open-source API.
The most popular cryptocurrencies will be offered as a means of payment between contractors with more crypto offerings added as the wider market matures.
Self-learning neural system for automatic transaction processing.

THE UNIQUENESS OF PAYFAIR

Payfair provide a financial agreement in which a third party regulates all the processes between two exchanging parties. it makes deals safer, because money is held on a secure account and deposit is given only when all the requirements are met. escrow service is useful for large amounts of money and certain requirements should be met before the money is released. For example making a website. A client wants to verify the quality of the website before purchasing, and a designer doesn’t want to share his or her work without any guarantee that he or she receives the money.

TOKEN AND ICO DETAILS

The PayFair token (PFR) is an ERC-20 token that uses the Ethereum blockchain as its basis. The PFR tokens are an essential component of the entire platform ecosystem. The PFR tokens are used to create trust nodes and safe environment during the transactions.

The total amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000 and are pre-mined. The following is the breakdown of the 100,000,000 distribution:
