@BarryArinze has applied to work on this issue as part of the Stellar Wave Program's 3rd wave.

I’d love to design and implement a clean service layer to manage the full escrow lifecycle while abstracting all blockchain complexity away from controllers. I’ll structure this to handle create, fund, release, refund, and dispute flows through a clear, consistent API.

My focus will be on making the service modular, testable, and easy to extend—so future features like DAO-driven decisions or advanced dispute handling can plug in naturally. I’ll also ensure blockchain interactions are well-encapsulated, with reliable error handling and clear separation of concerns.
