Security & trust

Bank-grade security. Built to stop construction scams.

Encrypted records and a tamper-evident audit trail today — and milestone money that will sit with a regulated, PCI DSS Level 1 payment partner until the work is approved.

  • Regulated milestone escrow

    When payments launch, deposits will be held by a regulated payment partner — not by BYOB — and released only after the homeowner approves photo proof of the milestone.

    Dhowaan
  • Integer-cent ledger precision

    Every amount is kept in whole cents in append-only ledgers. Entries can’t be edited or deleted — corrections are new, visible entries — so nothing rounds away and nothing disappears.

    Hadda la heli karo
  • Encrypted on audited infrastructure

    AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS in transit (TLS 1.3 where supported), on database and hosting providers that hold SOC 2 Type 2 attestations.

    Hadda la heli karo
  • Anti-fraud audit trail

    Site photos carry a device timestamp and a SHA-256 fingerprint chained to the one before, so tampering shows. Change orders and disputes are permanent logs.
