Every now and then we all enter into disputes with one another, some of these disputes are easily solved, while some of them might need the intervention of a third party to enable proper checks and balances.

This intervention of a third party has triggered the inauguration of the formal legislative arm of every state, which acts as a third party umpire in every case and helps in taking care of disputes.

The Judiciary arm, even as it is well structured with seemingly infallible characteristics, there seems to be some flaws crawling up on the system caused by some people who believe they have the power to turn any and everything to their will.

Blockchain technology seems to be the way out for several problems and challenges in the world so far, with a long range of immutable characteristics, and a repertoire of features which makes it impossible for malicious acts to be carried out on top of the blockchain, the only solution to the problems arising in dispute resolutions seems to be an effective intertwining of the entire system with blockchain technology.

Do you think there can be a way we can incorporate the legal system into blockchain technology, creating a decentralized Justice system for both smart contracts and other kinds of disputes?

MEET Kleros a decentralized Justice System...

Kleros is a decentralized platform built on the ethereum blockchain that leverages 3 different technologies to deliver a blockchain-based

Kleros will enable small businesses to record more growth and development as they have the backing of the major blockchain enabled judiciary platform that can effectively settle all disputed with lesser time and resource.

Big companies can partner with Kleros officially as their legal and arbitration partner, making it easier to handle cases and since the system is rig-proof, others can start incorporating such services onto all their agreements, creating contract, incorpotating Kleros and stating them as third-party arbitrators in the event of any maladministration
