Research
Kleros is grounded in academic research spanning cryptoeconomics, game theory, social choice theory, and legal studies. The protocol’s design draws on peer-reviewed publications, and the team actively collaborates with researchers and institutions to advance the field of decentralized justice.Research Areas
Cryptoeconomics & Mechanism Design: The incentive structures, voting systems, and attack resistance properties of the Kleros protocol. This includes Schelling point mechanisms, penalty/reward systems, and analysis of griefing attacks. Social Choice Theory: Voting aggregation methods for multi-option disputes, including analysis of clone independence, Condorcet properties, and manipulation resistance across Plurality, Ranked Pairs, Schulze, and other systems. Random Number Generation: Secure on-chain randomness for juror selection, covering Chainlink VRF, threshold signatures, and verifiable delay functions. Legal & Regulatory: The status of decentralized arbitration under existing legal frameworks, enforceability of on-chain rulings, and the relationship between blockchain dispute resolution and traditional ODR (Online Dispute Resolution). Identity & Sybil Resistance: Proof of Humanity as a foundation for one-person-one-vote systems, soulbound tokens, and PoH-gated jury selection.Kleros Fellowship of Justice
The Fellowship of Justice program, launched in 2018, builds a community of researchers and practitioners contributing to decentralized justice. Fellows have researched topics including decentralized justice for environmental conflicts, blockchain-based dispute resolution in Brazil, AI-art copyright disputes, and scientific misconduct adjudication.Apply for the Fellowship
The Fellowship is open for applications periodically. Check the Kleros blog for the latest cohort announcements.
Doctoral Research Grant
Kleros has established the Kleros Doctoral Research Support Grant in partnership with the computer science department of the University of Oxford to co-fund doctoral research in areas relevant to decentralized dispute resolution.What’s Next?
