Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What types of digital assets are supported for Hex Trust's Escrow Services?
Hex Trust provides custody for an extensive range of digital assets across multiple blockchains and token standards. This includes primary cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche, stablecoins (including USDC, USDT, DAI, and EURC), and Layer 2 tokens, as well as tokenised real-world assets (RWAs such as bonds and treasuries) and NFTs (following ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards). The platform is chain-agnostic, and onboarded assets undergo rigorous security and compliance reviews.
How does Hex Trust ensure the security of assets held in escrow?
Hex Trust ensures the highest level of security for assets held in escrow by leveraging its institutional-grade custody infrastructure. All escrowed assets are stored in segregated, on-chain accounts within the Hex Trust platform—our proprietary custody platform—ensuring clear asset ownership and full transparency. These accounts are protected by FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), operated in air-gapped, tamper-proof environments with strict role-based access controls.
In addition, escrowed assets benefit from the same military-grade security protocols, multi-layer approval workflows, and real-time monitoring as all other custodied assets within Hex Trust. The platform also maintains comprehensive insurance coverage, providing an added layer of protection against risks such as theft or loss. As a licensed and regulated custodian, Hex Trust applies robust operational controls and regulatory compliance standards across every stage of the escrow process—delivering trust, transparency, and security to all counterparties involved.
Is Hex Trust a neutral third party for escrow agreements?
Yes, Hex Trust acts as a neutral, regulated third party in all escrow agreements, providing an independent layer of trust and accountability to digital asset transactions. As a licensed custodian, Hex Trust does not take sides or act on behalf of any single party in the agreement. Instead, our role is to safeguard the assets in secure custody and release them only upon fulfilment of the agreed-upon contractual terms—such as delivery milestones, vesting schedules, or counterparty approvals.
By serving as an impartial intermediary, Hex Trust mitigates counterparty risk and ensures that all transactions are executed transparently, securely, and in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. This neutral positioning is particularly valuable in complex or high-value deals, such as OTC trades, M&A transactions, private token sales, or investor distributions, where trust and execution integrity are paramount.
What kind of transactions can Hex Trust's Escrow Services facilitate?
Hex Trust’s Escrow Services are designed to support a wide range of complex and high-value digital asset transactions, acting as a trusted intermediary to ensure secure and compliant execution. This includes facilitating Over-The-Counter (OTC) trades and private sales, where large volumes of digital assets are exchanged between parties requiring independent custody and conditional settlement.
In the context of mergers and acquisitions, Hex Trust provides secure escrow structures to hold and release digital assets involved in deal settlements, ensuring alignment with closing conditions and regulatory obligations. The platform also supports token vesting and distribution schedules—whether managed manually or via smart contracts—for projects, DAOs, foundations, or investors. This is especially valuable for token launches, fundraising rounds, or ecosystem grants, where structured, milestone-based distributions are required.
Whether it's securing investor tokens during a lock-up period or facilitating multi-party token transfers under strict conditions, Hex Trust offers flexible, transparent, and compliant escrow solutions tailored to institutional needs.
How does Hex Trust ensure compliance during the escrow process?
Hex Trust ensures full regulatory compliance throughout the escrow process by operating under strict legal frameworks across its licensed jurisdictions, including Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai. Every escrow arrangement is structured to meet both the contractual obligations of the counterparties and the regulatory requirements of the applicable jurisdiction.
This includes the integration of robust Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures for all involved parties, ensuring that only verified and eligible participants are engaged in the transaction. All activities are supported by transparent reporting, comprehensive audit trails, and clear documentation—providing legal certainty and operational accountability from initiation to final settlement.
By combining regulatory oversight with institutional-grade infrastructure, Hex Trust delivers a compliant and secure escrow service that protects all counterparties and supports the integrity of digital asset transactions.
