+# Escrow Smart Contract
+
+## Overview
+
+The `Escrow` contract manages funded milestone payments, releases, refunds, and disputes for Lance jobs.
+
+## `ReleaseEvent`
+
+### Purpose
+
+`ReleaseEvent` is emitted by `release_funds` after a client releases an explicit milestone index to the freelancer. It gives backend indexers and clients an auditable signal for state-changing escrow releases.
+
+### Topic
+
+- `("escrow", "ReleaseEvent")`
+
+### Payload
+
+- `job_id`: Unique job identifier.
+- `released_by`: Client address that authorized the release.
+- `released_to`: Freelancer address that received the payment.
+- `milestone_index`: Zero-based milestone index released by the call.
+- `amount`: Amount transferred for the released milestone.
+- `total_released`: Cumulative amount released for the job after this release.
+- `released_at`: Ledger timestamp when the event was emitted.
+
+### Validation
+
+`release_funds` preserves the existing escrow checks before emitting the event:
+
+- Caller authentication via `require_auth()`.
+- Job must be funded or already in progress.
+- Caller must be the job client.
+- Milestone index must exist.
+- Milestone must still be pending.
+
+The event is emitted only after the token transfer and persistent job update succeed.
