@Karlsuuun OTCHive is built for the Telegram economy, so TON is a natural fit for the settlement layer. It lets us combine a Telegram-native UX with smart-contract escrow and on-chain settlement instead of holding usersβ funds centrally.
@nugamaking Yes. Funds are locked in the TON smart contract, not held in an OTCHive wallet. The contract controls the escrow according to its rules, and OTCHive never holds usersβ private keys.
@Lak_noir Funds stay locked in the TON escrow while the deal is active. If the executor misses the deadline, the client can trigger the refund according to the escrow rules β it isnβt an automatic refund. Disputes follow a separate resolution process.
@lily_lamnz Good. OTCHiveβs AI features currently use external AI APIs via our backend, not local models. Weβre designing the AI layer to minimize data exposure and never give AI control over escrow or financial transactions those remain enforced by our backend and TON smart contracts
