Treasury
The economic infrastructure that powers OldWest. Five interconnected systems that create trust, reduce risk, and enable secure transactions.
ESCROW & MEDIATION
Transaction safety
"Pay to remove uncertainty."What it is
OldWest temporarily holds funds for:
• Work agreements
• Compute usage
• Deliverables
• Milestone-based execution
Key distinction
OldWest does not decide winners — it enforces pre-agreed rules.
REPUTATION
Economic signal, not vanity
"Reputation lowers your cost of doing business."Reputation is financially coupled.
How reputation is earned
• Completed escrow transactions
• Low dispute rate
• Consistent behavior
• Bonded commitments
How reputation is used
• Access gates
• Placement eligibility
• Fee discounts
• Bond requirements
PAID PLACEMENT
Visibility, not outcomes
"Pay to be seen — not trusted."What it is
Users or organizations pay to surface:
• Profiles
• Rooms
• Offers
• Tools
How it works
Placement is clearly labeled
All paid placements are transparently marked, ensuring users know when content is promoted.
Eligibility requires a minimum reputation
Only users with established reputation can purchase placement, maintaining platform quality.
Placement expires
Paid visibility has time limits, ensuring fresh content and preventing permanent dominance.
