Funding innovation in Web3 often comes with a familiar challenge: contributors want to back great ideas, but builders need capital before success, not after.

That gap between belief and proof has always been hard to bridge.
Contributors take a leap of faith when supporting early projects, while builders are expected to deliver results without the means to reach them.

Most current systems, from retroactive grants to committee-based funding, reward outcomes after the work is done.
It is a safe model, but it leaves out the teams who need help the most. Smaller builders rarely have the runway to build first and get paid later.

The integration between UNCX Network and Kleros introduces a different approach: Conditional Vesting.
It brings the entire funding process on-chain, replacing assumptions with verifiable steps that anyone can audit.

Each milestone is defined in advance, tracked transparently, and settled by proof rather than promises.
Funds stay locked until progress is verified, creating a system where accountability comes first and trust is earned through execution.

Trust Without Guarantees

Most Web3 grants still rely on a single, fragile element: trust.
Contributors send funds based on belief in a team’s vision, while teams promise to deliver without any mechanism to guarantee follow-through.

This works when everything goes well, but the cracks show as projects grow.
Timelines stretch, priorities shift, and goals become harder to measure. Without a clear structure for accountability, contributors are left waiting, and builders are left managing expectations instead of focusing on delivery.

Conditional Vesting replaces that uncertainty with a clear framework for proof.
Every milestone starts with an objective that can be measured, verified, and recorded on-chain. The conditions for success are known in advance, and the release of funds follows a transparent, predictable path.

Funds are secured in smart contracts through UNCX escrow and remain inaccessible until the defined criteria are met.
Verification happens directly on-chain, supported by Kleros, which acts as a decentralized arbiter in the event of a dispute. Jurors review evidence and confirm whether milestones have truly been achieved.

The result is a funding process rooted in evidence, not reputation, one that rewards completion rather than intention.

Inside the Conditional Grant Framework

Every Conditional Vesting flow connects funding, delivery, and verification into a single on-chain lifecycle.

Each stage ensures that contributors and builders follow the same transparent and verifiable process, where progress is measurable and accountability is built into the system itself.

1. Define the Milestone

Every project begins by defining a clear, measurable goal that can be proven on-chain.

Builders outline what success looks like and how it can be verified. The conditions are written directly into a smart contract, often using Reality as the oracle layer and Kleros as the arbiter of truth when disputes arise.

Examples of milestone definitions:

• Deploy audited smart contracts by Q2
• Reach 5,000 verified users
• Release version 1.0 of the protocol

These targets set the expectations for delivery and determine when and how funds will unlock once evidence is provided.

2. Lock the Funds

After the conditions are agreed upon, funds are secured within the UNCX Escrow and Lock Service.
That on-chain system holds the grant capital safely until the milestone is reached, preventing premature access or discretionary release.

The funds remain locked and visible to all participants.
Every movement is governed by smart contract logic, removing the need for intermediaries or manual review.

The structure ensures that contributors retain confidence that their capital is protected, while builders can focus on delivery knowing that funding is guaranteed upon proof of progress.

3. Verify and Settle

When a milestone is reached, the verification phase begins.
Evidence is collected through data feeds, on-chain activity, or oracle inputs that confirm whether the predefined condition has been met.

If uncertainty arises, Kleros acts as an impartial adjudicator.

Its decentralized network of jurors reviews the submitted evidence, applies objective criteria, and determines the outcome.

Every decision is recorded on-chain, creating an auditable and tamper-proof trail of accountability.

Once verification is complete, the smart contract automatically releases the funds to the grantee.

If the milestone is not achieved, the contract enforces the predefined fallback logic, returning or redirecting funds according to the original terms.

Nothing depends on manual judgment or reputation.
The entire process is enforced by transparent code, turning funding into a predictable, verifiable, and self-executing system.

Building Effective Conditional Grants

Creating a reliable Conditional Vesting process means defining clarity at every step, from milestones to verification and release.

Define Deliverables Clearly
Each condition should describe a specific, measurable outcome that can be independently verified.

Use Dependable Data Feeds
Verification relies on accurate on-chain or oracle data. Trusted feeds eliminate interpretation disputes.

Audit Your Contracts
The code is the agreement.
Smart contracts should be transparent, audited, and immutable once deployed.

Plan Governance Early
Define arbitration flows, who can trigger disputes, what evidence is valid, and how resolutions are executed.

Check Release Timing
Predictability builds confidence.
Everyone should understand how and when funds unlock, with all triggers verifiable on-chain.

The UNCX–Kleros Workflow

UNCX and Kleros create a transparent connection between capital, conditions, and outcomes within a unified on-chain process.
Each protocol fulfills a defined role that ensures funding is managed, verified, and enforced without intermediaries or subjective oversight.

UNCX provides the escrow, locking, and deployment infrastructure that governs how capital moves through each phase of a grant.

When a proposal is created, contributors deposit funds into the UNCX escrow contract, where they remain securely held until predefined conditions are met.

The contract enforces terms automatically, guaranteeing that every transaction follows verifiable logic and remains fully auditable on-chain.

Kleros functions as the adjudication layer responsible for validation and dispute resolution.

Its decentralized network of jurors reviews submitted evidence, compares it to the agreed criteria, and delivers an impartial, binding verdict.
All outcomes are recorded on-chain, producing a transparent and permanent record of verification.

The workflow defines a complete lifecycle for conditional funding:

Proposal → Lock → Proof → Release

1. Proposal: Builders outline measurable objectives and specify the data or evidence required for completion.
2. Lock: Contributors allocate funds to the UNCX escrow, where they remain secured until verification.
3. Proof: Builders provide evidence that conditions have been met, verified through data feeds or arbitration.
4. Release: Once verification is confirmed, funds are transferred automatically according to the smart contract terms.

Each stage operates transparently and is enforced through on-chain logic.
By uniting UNCX’s escrow infrastructure with Kleros’s decentralized resolution framework, funding in Web3 becomes accountable, measurable, and self-verifying.

A New Era of Accountability in Web3

Development is now centered on integrating the UNCX escrow service directly within the Conditional Vesting framework.
That integration brings all elements of funding, verification, and settlement into one verifiable on-chain process.

The upcoming phase focuses on connecting off-chain data sources and improving verification pathways so that progress can be validated with precision.

Data from trusted feeds, oracles, and project activity will confirm when milestones are reached, ensuring that every stage of delivery can be independently proven and recorded.

The objective is to make Web3 funding operate on proof rather than promises.
Each transaction, verification, and payout will be backed by evidence that is accessible to anyone, creating an open standard for accountability.

UNCX oversees the escrow and release logic, securing capital until contractual conditions are satisfied.
Funds cannot move without verifiable confirmation that progress has been achieved, removing discretion and reducing risk.

Kleros provides the resolution layer, using decentralized arbitration to validate results and resolve disputes when outcomes are unclear.
Its community of jurors examines the data, applies objective criteria, and records decisions directly on-chain, maintaining transparency and fairness throughout the process.

The integration of these systems marks a shift in how funding operates in decentralized environments.

Capital no longer depends on promises or trust. Every milestone is measurable, every decision is traceable, and every release of funds is justified by verifiable proof.

The result is a funding model built on transparency, accountability, and on-chain enforcement, setting a new standard for responsible development in Web3.
