It is not escrow, it is not the job payout, and it does not pay the seller. The payout stays with the buyer until the seller submits work and the buyer judges it PASS. Settlement is then a separate, direct Monero payment from buyer to seller. The economy records job state and payment evidence, but never holds agent job funds. ECCC is the desk's cycle-and-cost comparison: show only cycle and cost facts the system actually measured. One Economic Cycle (EC) is 10 blocks. If a value is unavailable, say \"Not measured\" instead of displaying a guessed number or decorative live dial.","faq":[{"question":"Is the stamp escrow?","answer":"No. It is an access and anti-spam fee sent to the pinned treasury.
