Escrow Tutorials
The XRP Ledger supports held payments that can be executed only after a certain time has passed or a cryptographic condition has been fulfilled. You can use these simple features to build publicly-provable smart contracts. This article explains basic tasks relating to held payments.
- Send a time-held payment
- Send a conditionally-held payment
- Look up held payments where you are the destination
- Look up held payments where you are the sender/owner
Availability of Held Payments
Held payments have been enabled by the "Escrow" Amendment to the Ripple Consensus Protocol since 2017-03-31. A previous version of the same functionality was available on the Ripple Test Net by the name "Suspended Payments" (SusPay) in 2016.
When testing in stand-alone mode, you can force the Escrow feature to be enabled locally regardless of the amendment status. Add the following stanza to your rippled.cfg:
[features]
Escrow
You can check the status of the Escrow amendment using the feature command.
