I could see a P2P trading platform making use of this.

HodlHodl had supported Lightning network as the base currency (where seller's BTC is escrowed), then pulled it as they wanted to remain 100% non-custodial throughout.

Then Paxful added LN but only as a funding (and withdrawal) method for a BTC account balance.

So to-date, there is not a single P2P platform where someone can buy or sell bitcoin, using LN, without the BTC funds being held by the platform's custodial wall.et 

Will you ever open source the tech? I think this eventually needs to be decentralized, right? There should be multiple escrows that compete on reputation.

We are developing an API so people can do whatever they want with it: if eBay and the like were to integrate this to their marketplace that would be great.

Interesting. Would be nice if this could be integrated into a peer-to-peer marketplace (e.g. a Bitcoin Lightning clone of Ebay).

I personally think that everything we can also possibly think of will be built on top of Btc.  Lighting/taproot is going to change the world!!

Can you explain how? 

This part on your website indicates custodial. 
> Buyer submits payments to LightningEscrow

Custodial escrow services have a notorious history of launching, operating until there's a fair amount of customers (and customer balances), then disappearing.

Why would LightningEscrow be any different?
