Mechanisms¶
- Escrowed or Conditional Commitment
- It misleads when the release condition is vaguer than it looks: escrow only shifts trust from the counterparty to (a) the custodian and (b) whoever judges the condition, and a fuzzy or manipulable condition just relocates the fight to the payout moment.
This sourceShows that optimistic fair exchange relies on a trusted third party that can resolve or abort the exchange when normal exchange fails.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
