Dispute Resolution

Definition

Dispute resolution refers to the processes used to settle disagreements or conflicts between parties. In the realm of digital assets and blockchain, these mechanisms are crucial for addressing issues arising from smart contract execution, transaction errors, or disagreements within decentralized autonomous organizations. Methods range from on-chain arbitration by elected jurors to off-chain legal frameworks or community governance decisions. Effective dispute resolution protocols are essential for maintaining trust and stability in decentralized systems, providing recourse when automated processes encounter unforeseen circumstances.
