Dispute Resolution Protocol

Definition

A dispute resolution protocol is a set of predefined rules and procedures designed to settle disagreements or conflicts that arise within a decentralized system. These protocols aim to provide a fair and impartial method for resolving issues, such as incorrect transaction execution or smart contract interpretation, without relying on traditional legal systems. They often involve arbitration mechanisms, voting systems, or reputation-based models to achieve a resolution. The objective is to maintain trust and operational continuity in the absence of a central authority.
