  Escrow plays a crucial role in blockchain transactions by acting as a trusted third party that holds funds or assets until the agreed-upon conditions are met. It provides security and ensures that both parties fulfill their obligations. When a transaction is initiated, the funds are locked in an escrow smart contract. Once the conditions are met, such as the completion of a service or the delivery of goods, the funds are released to the appropriate party. This minimizes the risk of fraud and provides a level of trust in decentralized transactions.

  Escrow in blockchain transactions is like having a neutral referee in a game. It ensures fairness and prevents cheating. When you use escrow, you can be confident that your funds are protected until the transaction is completed successfully. It adds an extra layer of security and trust to the decentralized nature of blockchain transactions. So, whether you're buying goods or services or participating in an ICO, escrow is there to make sure everything goes smoothly.
