> Automated Crypto Middleman.

MiddleM is an automated cryptocurrency escrow service. It holds funds until both parties confirm a deal, offering anonymous, automated verification and release for peer to peer transactions.

MiddleM is an automated cryptocurrency escrow service that acts as a middleman for peer to peer transactions. It holds funds from a sending party until both parties confirm that a deal has been completed, then releases them to the receiving party without manual intervention. The service supports a range of digital assets, including a flagship set built around Bitcoin alongside other major cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, and is aimed at users who need a neutral party to reduce trust risk in online deals.

The platform addresses the common problem of deciding who sends value first in a transaction between parties that do not know or trust each other. Deals are created through tickets rather than user accounts, and funds are verified and released automatically once conditions are met, removing reliance on manual moderators. Optional warranty periods, ranging from a few days up to a year, allow a sender additional time to confirm satisfaction with goods or services before funds are released.

Core functionality centers on ticket based escrow deals with tiered, transparent fees that scale with transaction size, plus a small flat surcharge for certain stablecoin payments. The service is used by individuals trading digital goods, services, or other assets online who want automated verification instead of a human intermediary, and it maintains dedicated channels for reporting disputes and identifying fraudulent lookalike sites.
