What is Pacta?
Pacta is a trustless settlement protocol built on Sui. It is infrastructure — not an application. Think of it the way you think of Stripe. Stripe does not sell products. Stripe gives developers the tools to accept payments so they can build anything. Pacta does the same thing for peer-to-peer settlement on Sui. You bring the product. Pacta handles the escrow, conditions, and release of funds. Any application that involves two parties exchanging value — freelance work, OTC trades, NFT deals, lending, AI agent payments — can be built on top of Pacta in hours instead of months.What Pacta Handles For You
Trustless Escrow
Funds are locked on-chain. No party can take them unilaterally. Conditions must be met before release.
Condition-Based Release
Set exactly what must happen before funds move — both parties deposit, both approve, a timelock expires, or any combination.
Dispute Resolution
Every agreement can have an optional arbiter. If parties disagree, the arbiter rules. No trusted intermediary needed at the protocol level.
Permissionless Settlement
Once all conditions are met, anyone can trigger settlement — including bots and AI agents. No party holds the key.
What You Build
What Pacta Does Not Do
Pacta does not store files, encrypt data, or make off-chain decisions. It is a pure on-chain settlement primitive. What your app does around it — the UI, the file storage, the business logic — is entirely your choice.Next Step
