Portafino
Meet Portafino, an execution layer for trusted agreements
Funds are secured in blockchain escrow at the start of an agreement and released in stablecoins as milestones are approved. Portafino is an independent company. Applied Blockchain built the technology behind it.
Designed for real-world transactions
Upfront payments put buyers at risk, and payment after delivery puts suppliers at risk. Portafino secures funds in blockchain escrow instead, releasing payment as agreed milestones are completed, without asking anyone to become a crypto user.
Biometric onboarding
Access with the face or fingerprint unlock already on the phone, with no wallet extension or seed phrase to manage. Businesses are verified before they can trade.
Powered by Giano, our passkey wallet infrastructure.Fiat in, stablecoins underneath
Users fund in dollars or euros, and balances are held as USDC on Base, so they never move with a token price. Withdrawals go to any Base wallet the user controls.
Milestone-based payments
Funds are committed upfront and released as agreed stages are completed. Every movement is recorded on-chain, so the audit trail belongs to the agreement rather than to either party.
Built-in dispute resolution
If a milestone is contested the funds stay locked while the supplier's delivery evidence is reviewed. An agreed mediator can trigger the release but never takes custody of the money.
We built it. Now we get paid through it.
Applied Blockchain now gets paid through Portafino. Milestones are agreed upfront, each stage settles when it is signed off, and there is no invoice sitting somewhere waiting out thirty days.
