Knock
Try it — nothing is signed

Set a price. Pick an ending.

A knock has exactly two outcomes, and the money goes somewhere different in each. Run both and watch where it sits in between.

Pick a price and a window, then lock it. Nothing is signed and no wallet is touched — this is a model of the escrow, running on the real fee.


Connect a wallet

Your wallet is the account: it signs you in, pays the escrow and takes the refund.

How it works

One clock decides everything.

The escrow opens

Your payment goes into an account owned by the Knock program. Not to us, not to them. From here neither side can move it — only a reply or the clock can.

Read off the chain

Every escrow, on the chain

These accounts belong to the Solana program, not to Knock’s database. We read them the same way you can: point any Solana explorer at the program and count the same rows.

Reading the program’s accounts…

This asks the cluster directly, so it can take a moment.

Your side of the door

Price your attention

Move the three sliders. Two describe your inbox, one is your own guess about the people writing to you. The fee and the minimum come off the program itself.

Reading the floor and the fee off the program…

10%

This one is yours to set. Knock has no way to know how your senders would behave, so it does not fill this in for you.

3 of 25 get through, on your assumption

Each envelope stands for 2 messages. Drawn in ink: paid for. Drawn in pencil: they didn't write.

This is arithmetic on the three numbers you set, not a projection. You keep money only on the messages you answer inside your own window; anything you leave goes back to the sender.

One signature to start.

Your wallet is the account: it signs you in, pays the escrow and takes the refund. No password, no email, and no access to your X messages.
