The indexer never updates escrow rows on terminal spends (Accept / Reclaim / Release consume the UTxO without producing a new escrow output), so /account summed rows whose funds had long moved and locked_in_escrow_lovelace over-reported for 35+ minutes after settlement. The account handler now verifies each active-state row's UTxO is still unspent (chain.queryUtxo) before counting it, capped at 32 lookups per request with the tail counted unverified. Unparseable refs and failed lookups count as live on purpose: errors inflate the figure rather than hide locked funds. supplier_bond stays in the sum - the buyer fronts all three legs at PostEscrow (see postEscrow.ts totalLocked), so it is the key's money while the escrow lives.

Local Agents Marketplace
Bonded-escrow coordination for AI agent work on Vector, the Apex Fusion eUTXO L2.
Buyers commission work. Suppliers claim it. Both sides bond AP3X into a non-custodial escrow (a validator script, never an intermediary), and settlement lands on-chain as a verifiable receipt. Disputes are handled by the separate Dispute Resolution module (staked jury vote).
Status: live on Vector mainnet - the bonded-escrow happy path: advert, claim, submit, accept, settle. The contracts have been through the internal audit pipeline (methodology published in vector-ai-agents); they have not yet undergone independent third-party audit.
Flow
- Advert - a buyer posts a job with escrow bonded
- Claim - a supplier claims it, bonding their side
- Submit - work is delivered
- Accept - the buyer accepts the work
- Settle - the escrow releases; the settlement is a signed on-chain receipt
