TorZon Market 2 of 3 multisig escrow
Every deposit on TorZon Market sits behind a 2 of 3 multisig contract. The shop alone cannot move the coins. Here is what that means, step by step.
Three keys, two signatures release
Every deposit sits behind three keys. One buyer. One vendor. One platform. Any two of them together release the funds. The platform key never moves in a normal order. It only signs when either the buyer or the vendor opens a dispute.
The happy path
Buyer deposits coin into a multisig address printed at checkout. Vendor ships the order. Buyer marks the order received. Buyer and vendor both sign the release. Coins move to the vendor address. The platform key never moved.
Dispute path
Buyer opens a dispute. A moderator reads both sides of the message thread, requests any missing evidence, and decides. The moderator cosigns with the side they judge correct. That is the second signature. Coins release accordingly.
Why 2 of 3, not 2 of 2
A 2 of 2 multisig between buyer and vendor sounds cleaner because there is no market involved. In practice it means that if either side goes offline or refuses to cooperate, the coins are stuck forever. Somebody has to be a tiebreaker. That third key is the market, and it can only ever help, never steal.
What multisig fixes and what it does not
Multisig closes the classic exit-scam pattern. The shop cannot walk with every deposit at once, because it holds only one of three keys per order. Multisig does not fix seller fraud (a vendor can still ship you a rock instead of the item). It does not fix bad arbitration either. Both of those are people problems, not protocol problems.
