Flowra

Flowra is a programmable payment agent that enables condition-based fund release. It allows users to define rules—such as time schedules, geographic location, duration of presence, or proof of completion—before a payment is executed. Instead of transferring funds immediately, Flowra introduces a controlled flow where payments are tied to real-world conditions and outcomes. Funds are held securely in escrow and only released when the specified conditions are verified. This reduces reliance on trust between parties and improves overall payment reliability. By enforcing rules at the payment level, Flowra removes the need for manual follow-ups, dispute resolution, or third-party intermediaries. It ensures that payments are aligned with what was actually agreed upon, rather than depending on assumptions after funds have already been sent. This approach is particularly useful in scenarios where outcomes matter. For example, payments can be tied to a worker being physically present at a job site for a defined period, or to a freelancer submitting proof of completed work. Funds can also be structured to unlock gradually over time, making it suitable for recurring payments, allowances, or milestone-based disbursements. In each case, Flowra provides a simple way to define expectations and enforce them automatically. Built on Arc, Flowra combines smart contracts for escrow, backend verification for real-world conditions, and USDC-based settlement for fast and efficient transactions. Smart contracts manage the secure holding and release of funds, while the backend layer verifies inputs such as location, time, and proof submissions. Arc handles transaction execution and settlement, ensuring reliability and scalability across payments. By integrating these components, Flowra creates a system where payments are not just fast, but also conditional, verifiable, and outcome-driven.
