What is Slice?
Slice is a decentralized, real-time dispute resolution system, designed for digital platforms that process user-to-user payments and need a fast, impartial, and transparent way to resolve conflicts.
Unlike traditional systems—slow, manual, and centralized—Slice enables disputes to be resolved in minutes, through distributed jurors, clear economic incentives, and automatic execution of outcomes.
Slice functions as a universal trust module that can be integrated into fintechs, marketplaces, wallets, exchanges, service platforms, and Web3 applications, without forcing these platforms to act as judge and jury.
A new way to resolve digital disputes
In Slice, every dispute follows a simple and predictable flow:
One party initiates a dispute and locks the disputed funds.
A group of impartial jurors is selected randomly.
Jurors review the evidence and vote within a short time window.
The verdict is executed automatically, releasing the funds according to the final decision.
The entire process is designed to minimize friction, remove intermediaries, and provide a clear experience for both end users and platforms.
Real-time resolution, not endless processes
Slice introduces a real-time resolution model:
Voting rounds last minutes, not days.
The system escalates instantly if there is disagreement.
Each dispute has a maximum of three instances, preventing infinite appeals.
This approach makes Slice viable even for microtransactions, where legal systems or traditional customer support processes are economically unfeasible.
Distributed jurors and aligned incentives
Decisions in Slice do not depend on a company, moderator, or centralized authority.
Jurors:
Are selected randomly from an open pool.
Participate by staking stablecoins (USDC).
Earn rewards for voting coherently with consensus.
Build reputation over time.
This design incentivizes honest behavior and reduces malicious actions, without requiring prior trust between the parties.
Designed for real users
Slice is not built only for blockchain experts.
The system prioritizes:
Simple, understandable UX
Fast onboarding with minimal crypto friction
Clear interfaces for submitting evidence and understanding verdicts
Light gamification elements that make the juror experience intuitive
The goal is for any user of a digital platform to use Slice without needing to understand smart contracts.
A protocol, not a closed platform
Slice does not compete with existing platforms—it empowers them.
It acts as a neutral dispute resolution layer that can:
Be integrated via SDKs or APIs
Resolve conflicts tied to on-chain payments
Execute decisions programmatically
Maintain public traceability and transparency
In this way, Slice positions itself as core infrastructure for the digital economy, where trust is enforced by clear, verifiable rules rather than intermediaries.
In summary
Slice is a lightweight digital justice system that resolves disputes in a way that is:
⚡ Fast (minutes, not days)
⚖️ Impartial (distributed jurors)
🔍 Transparent (verifiable rules and execution)
🌍 Global (built for digital payments and stablecoins)
It represents a new approach to resolving conflicts on the internet—aligned with the speed and scale of the modern digital economy.
While Slice is primarily designed for real-time dispute resolution, its incentive and coordination model can be extended to other forms of subjective evaluation—such as contribution assessment and reward allocation in open-source and digital ecosystems.
