## Zeus — bonded settlement, not escrow
Middleman bots ask you to trust someone with your money. Zeus doesn't. The buyer pays the seller **directly**. Both sides post a bond into an immutable contract that only exists to settle a dispute. Nobody, including Zeus, holds the payment.
### How a deal runs
1. `/deal new` — counterparty, amount, template; terms come pre-filled.
2. `/deal agree` — the counterparty accepts; a private deal thread opens.
3. `/deal bond` — each side signs a link and posts their bond.
4. `/deal paid` — the buyer pays the seller and records the tx.
5. `/deal deliver` — the seller delivers; a review window starts.
6. `/deal approve`, or silence, settles it. Both bonds come back.
If it goes wrong, the buyer runs `/deal dispute` and a **randomly drawn arbitrator** rules. The loser forfeits their bond to the winner, so fake disputes and fake deliveries both cost money.
### Commands
