description: Working in the blockchain ecosystem is a mixture of producing secure viable and efficient protocols whilst experimenting with cutting edge technology.These new social technologies are updating some of humanitys core institutions such as finance law and government enabling communities to respond to the new challenges of the Internet Age.In the past two years at Kleros we have focused on one specific aspect of this new governance paradigm: dispute resolution.In order to make our research more accessible and to kickstart a discussion about the potential implications of this emerging technology we decided to compile this seminal book: Dispute Revolution. The Kleros Handbook of Decentralized Justice.The book focuses on a number of key pillars we deem important to understanding the main tenets of Kleros and also broader questions about the nascent industry and academic field of decentralized justice.Does decentralized justice solve a real problem? Is the solution economically viable? Can the right incentives be created for users to be honest? Is this new resolution method fair? Can it be adopted at large scale by societies?Contributors include Kleros team members as well as academic experts and industry leaders in law economics moral philosophy computer science political theory and online dispute resolution.We are addressing institutions that effectively have not changed for two centuries. In an ever accelerating world foresight for the future of law needs to come from a humanistic cross-discipline perspective.Dispute Revolution does not contain any definitive answers. On the contrary it tries to pose key questions to be answered.We would be happy if this book could strike up discussion and became the beginning of a research and development roadmap for this emerging field. We would be even happier if this book could kickstart a community of entrepreneurs and activists willing to push the ideals of decentralized justice.
