The first demo/prototype version of Araf Protocol is now live.🚀
@arafescrow is currently available for testing on the Base Sepolia network.
You can get test ETH, try the miniapp, explore the flow, and contribute to the development process with your feedback.

@arafescrow 🔒 P2P Escrow ≠ Arbitration
Araf is a non-custodial escrow protocol for fiat ↔ crypto trades.
It does not verify parties or decide who is right.
It makes risk visible, locks funds under contract rules, and enables settlement only when both parties agree. 🤝

A good protocol should help without distorting truth.
Guide without deciding.
Reduce friction without diluting the trust model.
We updated Araf Protocol’s architecture docs with that mindset.
We made the on-chain / off-chain boundaries clearer: https://github.com/ArafProtocol/Araf/blob/main/docs/EN/ARCHITECTURE.md
We defined more explicitly what the backend can do, and what it must never be able to do.
We reworked the dispute flow, collateral logic, and frontend guard rails without compromising architectural honesty.
We are not pretending to be perfect.
We are not hiding our tradeoffs.
We are making it explicit why those decisions exist.
That is architectural integrity.

Building Araf Protocol: a non-custodial P2P gateway on /base 🔵
We’re removing human mediators from fiat-to-stablecoin swaps using "Bleeding Escrow"—where disputes resolve via time-based fund decay.
Check out the interactive UI preview (UX only):
🔗 https://araf-protocol.vercel.app/
The "Fire Bar" in the UI visualizes the escrow decay in real-time. Base’s gas efficiency makes this hourly state update economically viable for the first time.
Currently finalizing the MVP on Base Sepolia. Targeting TRY/USD/EUR to USDT/USDC pairs.

Code is law, but transparency is the foundation. 🛠️
We are committing to the soul of the @farcaster ecosystem: Open Source. Araf Protocol’s full codebase is now live for the community to audit, fork, and explore.
Developed relentlessly by a solo builder, Araf is pushing for a truly autonomous and private P2P infrastructure on /base

🌀 A good protocol should help without lying.
Guide without deciding.
Reduce friction without distorting truth.
We’re not pretending to be perfect.
Only honest about our tradeoffs, and disciplined about why we make them.
That is architectural integrity. 🌀
