A dispute resolution mechanism is a system for addressing and settling disagreements within a digital asset ecosystem. These mechanisms are critical for decentralized applications, especially those involving financial agreements or complex interactions where human judgment may be required. They can range from on-chain voting by token holders to specialized arbitration courts composed of elected jurors. The objective is to provide a fair and transparent process for resolving unforeseen issues or contractual ambiguities without relying on traditional legal systems.

News frequently covers cases where these mechanisms are tested, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses in practice. Future developments aim to integrate more sophisticated legal frameworks and AI-driven arbitration into blockchain protocols for enhanced fairness and efficiency.
