The problem
In informal markets, trust is the biggest barrier to doing business.
In her words
"I lost two big orders last year. People paid late, or not at all."

Payments aren't guaranteed
Funds disappear. Promises break. There's no recourse.
Work isn't always delivered
Money sent upfront with no certainty of completion.
Trust depends on relationships
Business stays locked inside small, familiar circles.
The result, people avoid opportunities and limit themselves to small, trusted circles.
The solution
A neutral layer that holds moneyuntil trust is earned.
Nightfall sits between buyer and seller. Funds are locked, conditions agreed, and payment only releases when both sides have done what they promised.
Funds locked
Before work begins
Capital moves into a protected account the moment a deal is created. Neither side can touch it on a whim.
Conditions written
Not assumed
Every release is tied to terms both parties accept. No hidden expectations, no verbal promises.
Payment moves
Only when terms are met
Confirmation triggers settlement. Disputes pause it. Money never moves on trust alone.
Every action recorded
