 # descro
 
-A decentralized escrow protocol on Solana for physical goods trading. Fully permissionless and resolver-agnostic — any wallet or program that implements the resolver interface can adjudicate disputes.
+A decentralized escrow protocol on Solana for physical goods trading. Fully permissionless and resolver-agnostic: any wallet or program that implements the resolver interface can adjudicate disputes.
 
 ## 🌍 Vision & Concept
 
-Buying and selling physical goods peer-to-peer runs on trust — and today that trust is either placed in a centralized platform that takes a cut and can freeze your funds, or in nothing at all, leaving buyers and sellers to hope the other side follows through. descro removes that single point of control: funds sit in an on-chain vault that only releases according to rules enforced by the protocol itself, not by a company.

-Instead of building one monolithic marketplace, descro splits the problem into a minimal **protocol layer** (escrow logic + a resolver registry) and lets anyone build the **application layer** on top — from a slick, KYC'd consumer app to a raw wallet-to-wallet trade between two people who've never met.

-- ⚖️ **Resolver-agnostic by design** — disputes aren't adjudicated by descro itself. Any wallet or program that implements the resolver interface can be plugged in: a single trusted authority, a multisig, a jury DAO, or an algorithmic (MAD-style) resolver.
-- 🔓 **Fully permissionless** — no whitelist, no gatekeeping. Anyone can create an escrow, register as a resolver, or build a client against the protocol.
-- 🔒 **Non-custodial by construction** — SOL lives in a program-owned vault, not a company's balance sheet. Nobody, including descro itself, can move funds without satisfying the on-chain rules.
-- 🧩 **Progressive decentralization** — a central platform (own resolver, KYC, familiar UX) can onboard mainstream users first, while the same trades quietly build up a decentralized backend anyone can tap into directly, with free choice of resolver, once critical mass is reached.
-- ⚡ **Built for Solana** — sub-cent transaction fees and ~400ms finality mean the on-chain plumbing can stay invisible to end users while still being fully verifiable.
-- 🧱 **Minimal, composable core** — the escrow program only knows about escrow state and SOL; dispute resolution is entirely external via CPI, so the protocol doesn't need to be trusted to "get justice right," only to enforce the interface correctly.
-- 🛡️ **Trust-minimized stats** — resolver reputation (fee, resolution history) lives in an on-chain registry that only the escrow program can update, so it can't be gamed by a resolver inflating its own track record.

 ## Architecture Notes
 
 - **Anchor 1.0.x:** `UncheckedAccount<'info>` with `/// CHECK:` doc comments; `#[derive(InitSpace)]` + `#[max_len(N)]` for strings.
-- **`@coral-xyz/anchor@0.32.x`:** Use `new Program(idl, provider)` — the IDL's `address` field provides the program ID. The 3-argument form is broken in 0.32.x.
-- **Yarn workspaces:** `nodeLinker: node-modules` (not PnP) — required for Next.js Turbopack compatibility.

 - **LiteSVM tests:** each `tests/common/mod.rs` provides `setup()`, PDA helpers, `send()`/`try_send()`, `ix_*` builders, and `read_*` deserializers. `test_resolve_with_registry.rs` loads both `.so` files to test the full CPI flow.
