4.1 The Neutral: create the matter.
Sign in and choose New Matter. Review the Universal Settlement Agreement, then enter the participants (names, emails, and wallet addresses), the settlement amount, any neutral fee, and the payment and confirmation deadlines. The terms and deadlines are fixed when you submit. Solis emails the Payor an invitation with the agreement attached. The Recipient’s invitation is deliberately held back until the Payor’s funds are in escrow — so when the Recipient is invited, the money is already locked and verifiable on-chain.
4.2 The Payor: fund the escrow.
Open the invitation, sign in, connect your wallet, and review the terms and the agreement. Choose Confirm & Pay: you sign to authorize the USDC and to attest to the agreement, then submit the funding transaction, which moves your total — settlement amount + any neutral fee + the 2% fee — into the escrow contract. This costs a small amount of ETH in gas. Fund before the payment deadline, or the matter expires.
4.3 The Recipient: review and confirm.
Once the escrow is funded, you receive an invitation. Sign in, connect your wallet, and review the funded matter and the agreement. Choose Confirm — your acceptance is what executes the settlement. This costs a small amount of ETH in gas. Confirm before the confirmation deadline.
4.4 Release, or refund.
On your confirmation, the escrow releases — in a single transaction — the settlement amount to the Recipient, any neutral fee to the Neutral, and the 2% fee to Solis. If the Recipient rejects, the full escrowed amount is refunded to the Payor and no fee is charged. If the confirmation deadline passes, the Payor must submit the available refund transaction; after it confirms, the full escrowed amount is refunded and no fee is charged. You can verify the result on the public block explorer (Etherscan): a completed settlement is one transaction containing the three transfers, sharing a single transaction hash.
