Decentralized Dispute Resolution

• 3 anonymous judges selected based on skills, reputation score, and token stake.

• All parties stake SOCIO tokens to participate.

• Decision made by 2 of 3 votes with rewards for those on winning side.

• Token staking required to initiate disputes.

• Delegating tokens to validators possible for passive participants.

• People are incentivized by tokens.

Features

1. Anonymous Judge Selection

   • The anonymity of judges effectively counters direct collusion risk.

   • A zero-knowledge proof system to verify judge qualifications without revealing identities.

2. Enforcement Mechanism

   • Cheating will result in penalties, including a lifetime ban from the ecosystem.

   • Automated detection algorithms that flag suspicious voting patterns.

   • Periodic audits of voting patterns to identify statistical anomalies.

   • Reputation scores can also be affected, creating multi-dimensional incentives. This provides additional motivation beyond financial rewards.

3. Randomized Selection with Weighted Qualifications

   • Multiple factors in selection (reputation, skills, stake) to prevent wealth-dominated selection.

   • A logarithmic relationship between impact score and selection probability, and a square root relationship between stake and selection probability, help reduce plutocratic influence.

   • Minimum qualification requirements regardless of stake size. This prevents pure financial dominance of the system.

4. Delayed Reward Distribution

   • Time-locked rewards with gradual release over time.

   • This creates longer-term alignment and allows time for coordination detection.

   • Bonuses for consistent, principled decisions over time. This encourages long-term thinking over short-term gains.
