Escrow

[Source]

(Added by the [Escrow amendment][].)

The Escrow object type represents a held payment of XAH or IOU waiting to be executed or canceled. An [EscrowCreate transaction][] creates an Escrow object in the ledger. A successful [EscrowFinish][] or [EscrowCancel][] transaction deletes the object.

If the Escrow object has a crypto-condition, the payment can only succeed if an EscrowFinish transaction provides the corresponding fulfillment that satisfies the condition. (The only supported crypto-condition type is PREIMAGE-SHA-256.) If the Escrow object has a FinishAfter time, the held payment can only execute after that time.

An Escrow object is associated with two addresses:

• The owner, who provides the XAH or IOU when creating the Escrow object. If the held payment is canceled, the XAH or IOU returns to the owner.

• The destination, where the XAH or IOU is paid when the held payment succeeds. The destination can be the same as the owner.

Fields

An Escrow object has the following fields:

Name	JSON Type	[Internal Type][]	Required?	Description
Account	String	AccountID	Yes	The address of the owner (sender) of this held payment. This is the account that provided the amount, and gets it back if the held payment is canceled.
Amount	String or Object	Amount	Yes	The amount to be delivered by the held payment.
CancelAfter	Number	UInt32	No	The held payment can be canceled if and only if this field is present and the time it specifies has passed. Specifically, this is specified as [seconds since the Ripple Epoch][] and it "has passed" if it's earlier than the close time of the previous validated ledger.
Condition	String	Blob	No	A PREIMAGE-SHA-256 crypto-condition, as hexadecimal. If present, the [EscrowFinish transaction][] must contain a fulfillment that satisfies this condition.
Destination	String	AccountID	Yes	The destination address where the amount is paid if the held payment is successful.
DestinationNode	String	UInt64	No	A hint indicating which page of the destination's owner directory links to this object, in case the directory consists of multiple pages. Omitted on escrows created before enabling the [fix1523 amendment][].
DestinationTag	Number	UInt32	No	An arbitrary tag to further specify the destination for this held payment, such as a hosted recipient at the destination address.
FinishAfter	Number	UInt32	No	The time, in [seconds since the Ripple Epoch][], after which this held payment can be finished. Any [EscrowFinish transaction][] before this time fails. (Specifically, this is compared with the close time of the previous validated ledger.)
Flags	Number	UInt32	Yes	A bit-map of boolean flags enabled for this object. Currently, the protocol defines no flags for Escrow objects. The value is always 0.
LedgerEntryType	String	UInt16	Yes	The value 0x0075, mapped to the string Escrow, indicates that this object is an Escrow object.
OwnerNode	String	UInt64	Yes	A hint indicating which page of the owner directory links to this object, in case the directory consists of multiple pages. Note: The object does not contain a direct link to the owner directory containing it, since that value can be derived from the Account.
PreviousTxnID	String	Hash256	Yes	The identifying hash of the transaction that most recently modified this object.
PreviousTxnLgrSeq	Number	UInt32	Yes	The [index of the ledger][Ledger Index] that contains the transaction that most recently modified this object.
SourceTag	Number	UInt32	No	An arbitrary tag to further specify the source for this held payment, such as a hosted recipient at the owner's address.
TransferRate	Number	UInt32	No

Escrow ID Format

The ID of an Escrow object is the [SHA-512Half][] of the following values, concatenated in order:

• The Escrow space key (0x0075)

• The AccountID of the sender of the [EscrowCreate transaction][] that created the Escrow object

• The Sequence number of the [EscrowCreate transaction][] that created the Escrow object If the EscrowCreate transaction used a Ticket, use the TicketSequence value instead.
