challenges & solutions.
Challenge: Supporting multiple wallet providers with consistent UX
Solution: Used Stellar Wallets Kit as a unified abstraction layer. Each wallet adapter handles provider-specific quirks while exposing a consistent interface to the dashboard.
Challenge: Ensuring escrow funds are safely locked until conditions are met
Solution: Implemented Soroban smart contracts with time-locked release conditions. Funds are provably locked on-chain and can only be released or refunded through contract calls.
