GenLayer Introduces AI-Powered Blockchain Court for On-Chain Dispute Resolution

GenLayer is pioneering a blockchain-based arbitration protocol designed to resolve disputes in the crypto ecosystem using AI-powered validators. Co-founded by Albert Castellana Lluís, GenLayer positions itself as a "global synthetic jurisdiction" offering fast, unbiased, and low-cost decisions on contentious matters such as prediction market outcomes, DAO governance, or insurance claims.

Built on Ethereum Layer 2 solution ZKsync, GenLayer’s network comprises 1,000 validators, each connected to a large language model (LLM) like ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini. When disputes arise—such as a controversial Polymarket settlement—validators are randomly selected to evaluate the issue using AI, vote on a resolution, and issue a ruling. Appeals escalate the validator count based on Condorcet’s Jury Theorem, increasing the probability of an accurate outcome.

Each transaction is processed in about 100 seconds, with final rulings typically reached in under 30 minutes. Validators are financially rewarded when their decision aligns with the majority, incentivizing accurate, well-researched outcomes. Since validator selections are random and decisions must be made quickly, the system reduces the risk of collusion. Appeals promote the use of higher-quality AI models, especially as validators aim to maximize reward opportunities.

Importantly, GenLayer does not compete with blockchains like Ethereum or Solana; instead, it offers modular arbitration services that any protocol can integrate. As AI agents become more prevalent in crypto trading, governance, and automation, GenLayer could serve as the neutral trust layer enabling reliable decision-making between human and AI entities.

With its testnet already active and a token-based incentive system in place, GenLayer aims to launch its mainnet by year-end. The platform is expected to attract developers and protocols seeking scalable and impartial on-chain resolution infrastructure.
