Overview of Kleros
Kleros connects users who need to solve disputes with jurors who have the skills to fairly settle them. Our resolution layer uses blockchain technology and crowdsourced jurors to adjudicate disputes in a fast, secure, and affordable manner.
Use Cases
A freelance job is contracted between two people working cross continent. The service is not rendered to a satisfactory standard and a jury of experts analyze the evidence, vote, and find a verdict.
An unpleasant comment posted in a decentralized social media platform is deemed to have broken terms and conditions. Kleros jurors rule to deduct reputation points from the user.
Online gaming is a growing market with superstar players. Professionals will require a highly skilled group of jurors to arbitrate disputes, and for the provision of safe spaces to play in.
A startup backed by crowdfunders never materialises a viable product. The funds have been locked in a smart contract escrow adjudicated by Kleros jurors and are returned to the investors.
Incentives and Security
