Escrow for gigs between people who know each other
Pay for the gig.Hold it till it's done.
Paying someone you half-know means one of you goes first. With Plug360, neither of you has to. The buyer's USDC waits in escrow until the job is done, and if you disagree, a friend you both trust, your plug, makes the call.

Three people, one link.
No accounts and no sign-up. Everything a deal needs travels in the link you send each other.
- 1
Agree the job
Write what needs doing, set a price, and name a plug: someone you both know and trust.
- 2
Sign one link
The seller signs the terms, then the plug accepts. Nothing moves yet, and signing is free.
- 3
Pay into escrow
The buyer pays from the same link. The USDC waits in the contract while the work gets done.
- 4
Release, or ask the plug
Happy? Release it. Not happy? Open a dispute before the window closes and the plug decides.
Fair by design, enforced by the contract.
The plug referees. That's all.
In a dispute, the contract gives the plug two choices: money back to the buyer, or payment to the seller. There is no option that sends the money to the plug or anyone else. That's why the plug should be someone you both trust.
Silence refunds the buyer
If the plug doesn't rule within 7 days, the buyer gets everything back.
Refunds have one address
The buyer picks it when paying. Nobody can change it afterwards.
Nobody holds your money but the contract
Plug360 never takes custody. The escrow contract is public, verified on Sourcify and readable on the Arc explorer.
Made for the deals you already do.
Anything where one side pays and the other delivers later.

For plugs
People already trust you to vouch. Get paid for it.
If people in your group chats already ask you who to trust, you're a plug. You earn up to 5% of every deal you referee, paid when the deal pays out, and most deals never need you at all.

Questions
What's a plug?+
A friend or community lead both sides already trust. They only act when there's a dispute, and the contract limits them to two moves: refund the buyer, or pay the seller. They can't send the money anywhere else.
What if the plug sides with the seller unfairly?+
Their ruling is final, which is why the plug should be someone you both know. Be aware that a plug earns the full fee when the seller is paid and half of it when the buyer is refunded. Plugs are listed one at a time, and one who rules dishonestly can be removed for new deals. They can never take the money for themselves.
What does it cost?+
Plug360 takes nothing. The plug fee, up to 5%, is set per deal and split evenly between buyer and seller. Gas on Arc is paid in USDC and costs a fraction of a cent per action.
What if the plug disappears?+
They get 7 days to rule on a dispute. After that, the buyer can be refunded in full, and anyone can trigger it.
Which wallets work?+
Any wallet that runs in your browser, like Rabby or MetaMask, or the in-app browser of a mobile wallet. Plug360 adds the Arc network for you.
How do I turn USDC into cash?+
Send it to an exchange that accepts USDC on the Arc network, sell it there and withdraw to your bank. The Add USDC page lists exchanges that support Arc today.
Has the contract been audited?+
Not yet. Until it is, the contract caps each deal at 100 USDC and everything it holds at 2,500 USDC. The source is public and verified.
Got a gig lined up?
Set it up in a minute and send the link. Your plug only hears from you if something goes wrong.
