Zeus Settlements Discord Server

Zeus — bonded settlement, not escrow

Every middleman bot asks you to trust someone with your money. Zeus doesn’t.
The payment goes straight from buyer to seller. Both sides post a small
bond into an immutable contract that exists only to adjudicate a dispute.
Nobody — not Zeus, not the server owner, not a bank — holds the principal.

How a deal runs

1. /deal new — pick a counterparty, an amount and a template. A modal opens
   with editable terms already filled in.
2. /deal agree — the counterparty accepts. This is what creates the bonded
   deal and opens a private thread.
3. /deal bond — each side gets a signing link and posts their bond.
4. /deal paid — the buyer pays the seller directly and records the reference.
5. /deal deliver — the seller declares delivery and a visible review window
   starts.
6. /deal approve settles instantly. Silence auto-settles when the window
   expires. Both bonds come back either way.

If it goes wrong, /deal dispute puts it to a randomly drawn arbitrator.
The loser forfeits their bond to the winner, so frivolous disputes and vapour
deliveries both cost real money.

Commands

/deal — new · agree · bond · paid · deliver · approve ·
dispute · status · arbitrator · cancel · help · faq · terms ·
templates

/arb — faq · list · register · review (plus operator subcommands
for the panel)

/wallet — link · status · unlink

/rep — on-chain deal reputation for any user

Start with /deal help. Every help surface is ephemeral — nothing gets
posted into a busy channel.

Why it’s different

• No custody. Zeus only observes payment references. It never holds funds.
• No admin keys. The contract has six invariants: bonds only, outflows only
  to client/provider/fee-switch, no admin keys, permissionless settle,
  module-gated rulings, bond conservation.
• Minimal permissions. View Channel, Create Private Threads, Send Messages
  in Threads. No Message Content intent, no member list, no role management.
• Real paperwork. Each deal renders a Bonded Engagement Agreement
  (England & Wales under the UKJT Digital Dispute Resolution Rules) whose
  SHA-256 is anchored in the contract.
• Reputation that travels. Every terminal state writes an append-only
  attestation per address, queryable with /rep.

Fees

5% of principal, charged on the bond pool, split 4% Zeus / 1% arbitrator.
Cancelling before delivery is free. Minimum deal $150.

The honest part

Deals settle in real USDC on Polygon. The contracts are unaudited
and this is disclosed in every message the bot renders. Zeus is not a bank, an
escrow agent or a money transmitter. Deal categories that breach Discord’s own
rules — account sales, Nitro and platform currency, regulated goods — are
blocked at the protocol layer and will be refused.
