Escrow for Discord Bots, Trading Scripts, and Automation Code

Custom Discord bots (moderation, ticketing, verification, economy) and trading automation scripts (arbitrage bots, sniper bots, mint bots) are traded privately every day. Deals range from $200 for a simple utility bot to $50,000 for a proven trading bot with verified profit history. The seller controls the source code and the running deployment; the buyer controls the money. Escrow bridges that gap.

Verifying bot performance before paying

  • For trading bots: live screen share of the last 30 days of trades from the exchange dashboard (not the bot's own log).
  • For Discord bots: a demo server invite where you can test every advertised command.
  • Source code review through a read-only access grant before funding.
  • Confirmation of any hosting requirements, API keys needed, and monthly running costs.

The escrow flow for bot deals

  • Seller provides a demo, source code walkthrough (screen share), and any performance evidence.
  • Buyer signs mutual NDA via the deal chat before receiving source access.
  • Buyer funds escrow for the agreed amount plus fee.
  • Seller delivers: source code, deployment guide, .env template, and any custom infrastructure setup.
  • Buyer deploys the bot to their own infrastructure and confirms it works end-to-end.
  • Funds release after a 7-day inspection window.

What sellers should protect against

Never share credentials to your live deployment or your API keys. Provide fresh API keys or ask the buyer to provision their own. Never share source before escrow is funded. Include a clause forbidding public redistribution of the bot's source code — resale rights are separate from the deal.
