⚖️ Kleros Community Call Recap | Dec 10, 2025 ⚖️
TL;DR ✨
“State of the Union” covered Kleros 2.0’s audit path on @arbitrum (with @certora), ecosystem consolidation (migrating legacy apps to modern infra), enterprise momentum, and growing academic/legal recognition. Special highlight: @AouidefY Yann Ouidef’s PhD defense. @KlerosCurate/Scout closed November with strong activity and unusually low challenge rates; Stake Curate comms are next. V2 priorities: finish audits, launch “V2 stable,” and roll updated dispute kits.
🧭 State of the Kleros Union
▸ V2 on Arbitrum: Beta launched Nov 2024; major upgrade May 2025; 100+ cases processed (incl. consumer disputes). Audits ongoing with Certora; launch sequence is finish audits → enable “V2 stable.”
▸ Ecosystem migration: Reconverting Curate, Escrow, Proof of Humanity, and other apps into a more modern, unified infrastructure.
▸ Enterprise scaling: Now that real cases run end-to-end, the goal is scale (more partners, more regions).
▸ Visibility & legitimacy: Mentions and talks across legal venues, plus steady conference participation.
▸ Education → network effects: Multi-year bet on academia is paying off: more theses, more collaborators, and a growing research community around decentralized justice.
▸ Fellowship cadence: Cohort #9 kicked off; topics span IP, misinformation curation, and legally binding deployments.
🎓 Special Feature — Yann Ouidef’s PhD
▸ Program & partners: CIFRE track (France) with the Paris Center of Law & Economics (Panthéon-Assas).
▸ Scope: Cross-disciplinary work (law + game theory) with experiments on juror behavior, including how incentives and attempted bribery can distort outcomes.
▸ Why it matters: Grounded evidence for court design. Fee/coherence settings, anti-bribery resilience, and selection rules that inform V2’s modular dispute kits.
▸ Team milestone: A long-running collaboration that adds credibility to decentralized justice as a research field.
🧰 Curate & Scout — November Snapshot
▸ Volume: 600+ new entries across Scout registries, including prediction-market questions verified for @seer_pm.
▸ Top activity: CDN (Contract ↔ Domain) registry led for the second month in a row. Useful for spotting domain hijacks/contract swaps.
▸ Quality signal: 37 removals and only ~1% of submissions challenged (vs. a usual 5–6%)—curators were exceptionally precise.
▸ What’s next: Communication pieces on Stake Curate (permanent deposits on @gnosischain) and a November development roundup.
🛠️ Upcoming V2 Focus
▸ Finish audits → ship: External review in progress; target is a clean handoff into “V2 stable.”
▸ Dispute kits: Keep iterating on modular kits (e.g., juror gating, shielded voting, non-binary outcomes) using real feedback from pilots.
▸ Infra unification: Continue migrating older apps into the updated stack for reliability, analytics, and easier integrations.
▸ Adoption: Use live enterprise/consumer cases to drive integrations. More partners, more courts.
