    Doesn't protect against:

    • Social engineering
    • Contract code vulnerabilities
    • Untrustworthy/Compromised controlling stakes in that escrow, whether they be people or autonomous systems
    • False reversal claims made against the escrow

    It has the same possible issues for your financial sovereignty as a regular, centralized financial institution, plus technical issues with the way the underlying infrastructure is built.
