Deposits

A refundable promise, held by code.

Trust between strangers usually costs money — insurance, lawyers, terms of service nobody reads. DaiZen replaces that overhead with a single mechanism a child can understand: a refundable deposit. The renter posts money. The owner sees it is real. The asset comes back, the deposit is returned. Damage, lateness, or disagreement reduce what's returned — but only by amounts the system can prove.

This page will carry the deposit mechanics in depth — the refund policy, what happens if a bike is damaged, what happens if you disagree, and the deposit lifecycle as it appears on a public chain. The trust deep-dive.
