Katsire Launches Bitcoin Escrow Platform Protecting Contractors,Professionals, and Creators
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, 22 October 2025 — South African startup Katsire is redefining secure e-commerce and professional payments with its innovative Bitcoin platform for buyers and sellers to transact on anything. Developed under the leadership of Katsire’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), the platform allows users to pay with Bitcoin anonymously while ensuring both sides of a transaction are protected through a robust Bitcoin escrow system.
According to Katsire’s CTO, the platform was inspired by a clear gap in the market: the lack of trust and security in everyday service transactions. Whether it’s contractors such as electricians, plumbers, tutors, or technicians for in-person services, or professionals like doctors, financial advisors, or government consultants who offer paid consultations, all face similar challenges – delayed payments, fake cheques, fraudulent clients, or no-shows. At the same time, customers often fear hiring unverified service providers or being scammed.
“With Katsire.com, both the service provider and the client are equally protected,” said the CTO of Katsire. “Funds move into escrow the moment a contract is accepted, guaranteeing that no one loses money or delivers work without proof of payment. It gives everyone, from a contractor fixing a home to a doctor booking a private consultation, the complete peace of mind while allowing them to pay with Bitcoin anonymously.”
The CTO added that many professionals have also grown wary of traditional payment processors such as Stripe or PayPal, which record transactions on bank statements and store identifiable financial data. Katsire’s Bitcoin escrow model provides a modern, private alternative that upholds confidentiality while preserving accountability for both parties.
Empowering Digital Creators and Online Communities
Beyond traditional services, Katsire’s CTO also saw a major need among digital creators and online professionals, from fashion designers and digital artists to gamers, coders, and programmers who frequently use Bitcoin but remain vulnerable to scams. Many avoid traditional platforms due to privacy concerns or the risk of chargebacks. Katsire solves this by enabling secure Bitcoin transactions that are anonymous yet verifiable with escrow protecting both ends of every deal.
“In online communities, people value privacy just as much as protection,” the CTO explained. “Katsire brings both together — it allows you to transact safely, deliver your work, and get paid without revealing your personal identity or financial details.”
How Katsire Works
The Katsire platform is simple, private, and user-friendly. Once a profile is located and sends a contract offer, and the other party accepts the offer, the agreed-upon funds are automatically moved into escrow. Both parties can then fulfill their respective obligations, such as completing a service or delivering a product. Afterward, they can choose to release funds, request a refund, or file a dispute if necessary. When the contract is resolved, funds are released to the appropriate party, and both users can leave a feedback review, rating communication quality, professionalism, and the value of goods or services exchanged.
Only sellers can view or locate buyer profiles, ensuring that buyers maintain full anonymity unless they choose to engage with a seller directly. Buyer profiles are not searchable through search engines or on the Katsire website unless the user has a registered seller account. This design ensures that buyer information and activity remain entirely private and protected.
On the other hand, seller profiles are publicly searchable, allowing them to promote their services across Katsire’s network and beyond. However, sellers have full control over their visibility; they can set their profiles to be public, private from public view, or completely hidden from everyone on-site, depending on their privacy preferences.
This transparent yet privacy-driven model allows both individuals and businesses to build trust, transact securely, and maintain anonymity. Making Katsire one of the few social platforms that truly balances freedom, safety, and discretion in Bitcoin transactions.
A Platform Built from the Ground Up
Katsire took nine months to design, build, and test, with every feature carefully developed for privacy, user safety, and fairness. The team continues to refine and enhance the platform daily as it prepares for global launch later this year.
“As a Bitcoin platform for buyers and sellers to transact on anything, Katsire is bridging the gap between trust and technology,” the CTO concluded. “Whether you’re fixing a pipe, offering financial advice, writing code, or creating digital art — Katsire ensures you can transact confidently and securely with Bitcoin.”
