Built on Stellar · Powered by Trustless Work

Your caution fee. Protected.

Nigeria's first on-chain rental security deposit platform. Landlords and tenants protected by smart contracts — no trust required.

Landlord deploys escrow

Smart contract holds the deposit — no landlord custody

Tenant funds securely

USDC locked on-chain via Stellar, both parties see it

Fair release at checkout

Platform releases based on photo evidence & agreement

How it works

Four steps. Zero trust required.

The entire deposit lifecycle happens on-chain. Transparent, auditable, and fair for both sides.

01
For landlords

Landlord creates an escrow

Sign in, add your property and room, then deploy a Stellar smart contract. The escrow address is unique to this tenancy.

02
For tenants

Tenant funds the deposit

Tenant receives an invite link, connects their Stellar wallet, and sends USDC directly to the escrow — no middleman.

03
Both parties

Move-in photos documented

Both parties upload move-in photos to the platform. These are timestamped and immutable — your evidence if anything goes wrong.

04
End of tenancy

Checkout & fair release

Tenant requests checkout with move-out photos. Landlord approves the split, or raises a dispute. Caushun mediates and releases funds.

Features

Built for both sides

For landlords

Protect your property. Attract better tenants.

Multi-property management

Organise all your properties and rooms in one dashboard. One escrow per room, always.

Invite-link onboarding

Generate a secure invite link for each room. Tenant onboards themselves — no paperwork.

Move-in photo records

Both parties upload photos at move-in. Timestamped evidence that protects landlords fairly.

5-day checkout window

Approve or dispute within 5 days of checkout. If no action, funds are released automatically.

For tenants

Know your deposit is safe — always.

Your money, on-chain

Deposit goes directly to a smart contract — not the landlord's bank account. See it any time.

Dispute protection

If you disagree with deductions, raise a dispute. A neutral platform mediates using photo evidence.

Transparent audit trail

Every action is recorded on Stellar. View your escrow on the Trustless Work explorer at any time.

Proposed split control

You propose how the deposit should be split at checkout. Landlord can agree or counter.

Why trust Caushun

The landlord no longer holds the power.

Smart contracts enforce the rules so neither party can act unfairly.

Non-custodial

We never hold your money. Funds are locked in a Stellar smart contract that only releases under agreed conditions.

Fully transparent

Every escrow is publicly verifiable on the Stellar blockchain. Nothing hidden, nothing editable after the fact.

Instant settlement

Stellar confirms transactions in 3–5 seconds. Once approved, your funds arrive — no waiting, no bank delays.

Photo-backed disputes

Disputes are resolved using timestamped photo evidence uploaded by both parties at move-in and move-out.
