Escrowed funds
Every rental, sale, and service invoice clears through Stripe Connect. Money is held until both parties agree the work is done. No wire-and-pray.
Trust and safety
How every DredgeCred deal is protected.
Escrowed funds, verified COIs, OEM warranty lookup, verified assets, credential portability, and an ops-backed dispute workflow — on every rental, sale, service, and placement. Not a premium add-on. Just how the platform works.
What every deal comes with
Eight layers of verifiable safety
Every layer is already live on the platform. Each deal inherits all eight by default.
Verified Certificate of Insurance
COIs are uploaded, parsed, and checked against carrier lookup. Expired coverage pulls a counterparty from the eligible list before a deal clears.
Verified Asset badge
Listings linked to an active OEM warranty, a clean surveyor inspection, or a platform verification show a second badge alongside the operator DC Score.
OEM warranty lookup
Every registered warranty is queryable by serial number. Field techs and renters can see coverage before the boom lowers, not after the failure.
Dispute workflow
A five-stage process with evidence upload, mediation, and ops-backed arbitration. Every message and survey is timestamped and preserved in the ledger.
Operator Pledge
A seven-commitment pledge signed by every member. Break one, lose access. The pledge is what keeps everything else real.
Credential portability
USCG licenses, CDLs, TWIC, OSHA cards, and dredge certifications travel with the worker across employers. One wallet, signed PDFs, expiry alerts.
Provenance trail
Every asset carries a Carfax-style service history: repairs, surveys, ownership transfers, hours logs. Buyers see what the machine has actually been through.
Platform commitments
Four commitments that apply to every deal.
- 1
Funds held until delivery
Buyers never release payment before the counterparty confirms the work is complete (or the window closes).
- 2
Capped, transparent fees
No surprise add-ons. Platform fees are displayed before either party agrees to the transaction.
- 3
Ops-backed arbitration
A human operator reviews every escalated dispute. No algorithmic black box deciding who gets paid.
- 4
Data portability
Your data is yours. Export any time.
Every deal, same standard.
The eight layers above are the baseline — not a premium tier, not an upsell. Escrow, verified COIs, dispute workflow, and everything else apply to every member and every transaction from day one.
