Escrow Fields

In addition to the common fields, Escrow entries have the following fields:

Name	JSON Type	Internal Type	Required?	Description
`Account`	String	AccountID	Yes	The address of the owner (sender) of this escrow. This is the account that provided the XRP, and gets it back if the escrow is canceled.
`Amount`	String	Amount	Yes	The amount of XRP, in drops, currently held in the escrow.
`CancelAfter`	Number	UInt32	No	The escrow can be canceled if and only if this field is present and the time it specifies has passed. Specifically, this is specified as seconds since the Ripple Epoch and it "has passed" if it's earlier than the close time of the previous validated ledger.
`Condition`	String	Blob	No	A PREIMAGE-SHA-256 crypto-condition, as hexadecimal. If present, the EscrowFinish transaction must contain a fulfillment that satisfies this condition.
`Destination`	String	AccountID	Yes	The destination address where the XRP is paid if the escrow is successful.
`DestinationNode`	String	UInt64	No	A hint indicating which page of the destination's owner directory links to this object, in case the directory consists of multiple pages. Omitted on escrows created before enabling the fix1523 amendment.
`DestinationTag`	Number	UInt32	No	An arbitrary tag to further specify the destination for this escrow, such as a hosted recipient at the destination address.
`FinishAfter`	Number	UInt32	No	The time, in seconds since the Ripple Epoch, after which this escrow can be finished. Any EscrowFinish transaction before this time fails. (Specifically, this is compared with the close time of the previous validated ledger.)
`LedgerEntryType`	String	UInt16	Yes	The value `0x0075`, mapped to the string `Escrow`, indicates that this is an `Escrow` entry.
`OwnerNode`	String	UInt64	Yes	A hint indicating which page of the sender's owner directory links to this entry, in case the directory consists of multiple pages.
`PreviousTxnID`	String	Hash256	Yes	The identifying hash of the transaction that most recently modified this entry.
`PreviousTxnLgrSeq`	Number	UInt32	Yes	The index of the ledger that contains the transaction that most recently modified this entry.
`SourceTag`	Number	UInt32	No	An arbitrary tag to further specify the source for this escrow, such as a hosted recipient at the owner's address.

Escrow Flags

There are no flags defined for Escrow entries.

Escrow Reserve

Escrow entries count as one item towards the sender's owner reserve as long as the entry is in the ledger. Finishing or canceling the escrow frees up this reserve.

Escrow ID Format

The ID of an Escrow entry is the SHA-512Half of the following values, concatenated in order:

The Escrow space key (0x0075)
The AccountID of the sender of the EscrowCreate transaction that created the Escrow entry
The Sequence number of the EscrowCreate transaction that created the Escrow entry If the EscrowCreate transaction used a Ticket, use the TicketSequence value instead.
