Round Table on “Decentralized Justice and Web 3.0” - What can we learn from Blockchain Online Dispute Resolution Projects?

As part of the ACT annual meeting

Stemming from the Web 3.0 - an idea for a new iteration of the World Wide Web based on blockchain technology which incorporates concepts including decentralization and token-based economics – “decentralized justice” is a new approach to online dispute resolution that combines blockchain, crowdsourcing and game theory in order to produce resolution systems which aimed at being more efficient than existing methods. While several projects claim to take advantage of these technologies, this round table
intends to question the ins and outs of this new dynamic or shall we say new trend occurring in the justice sector.
