Could you build this?

Partial While the web frontend is basic Next.js, deploying and securing non-custodial smart contracts on Stellar/Soroban with an off-chain/on-chain identity verification system involves critical security risks.

What it would actually take: The system requires a Next.js web application integrating Stellar Freighter wallet, coupled with a Soroban smart contract (written in Rust) implementing time-locked escrow schedules and payee whitelisting. The hard parts are writing secure, vulnerability-free Soroban Rust smart contracts and implementing a reliable KYC/entity verification workflow to guarantee validated payees.
