Are the builders on AxionOS verified?
Yes. Every trade clears identity and insurance checks before they can quote, and carries a public reputation score built from completed, verified jobs.
How does payment work?
Funds sit in milestone escrow. The builder completes a stage, you approve it, and only then is payment released — no payout without your sign-off.
