Building the standard that turns blockchain transactions into compliant financial records.
About
The goal of this protocol is to automate the missing part between a transaction and its financially compliant expression, ie accounting data. The cleanest use case: - Payer creates an escrow contract, with all necessary data embedded: duration of contract, amount paid to builder, date, etc. - Payer whether funds the contract through his own treasury OR borrows money from a lending protocol (Morpho/Aave). Funding a project through financing is a very widespread use case in the real world. - Payee delivers project or services and payer releases the money from the contract - Protocol generates tax-related data, digestible by mainstream accounting software (Quickbooks, Xero, Pennylane)
How it's made
The core is powered by Arc Network, where we want to implement a minimal escrow contract to lock and release USDC while anchoring a hash of the transaction’s financial metadata onchain for verifiability. For the interface, we chose a CLI to be agent-ready. We use the "commander" library for its versatility and ease of use. We also want to integrate the Ethereum Name Service to resolve human-readable identities (e.g. thib.eth) into addresses, significantly improving usability.
