Kleros, an Ethereum-based dispute resolution protocol, is now being piloted by public institutions in Argentina to resolve real consumer disputes. This talk shares what happened, what worked, and the privacy challenge it surfaced.
Argentina is running the first pilots of Kleros, an Ethereum-based dispute resolution protocol used by Mendoza Province and a small city called Junín, to resolve everyday consumer disputes: cases too small for a lawyer and too numerous for backlogged offices to handle quickly. I'll share what we've learned putting decentralized dispute resolution in front of real citizens and real government processes: what changed, what surprised us, and the tension it exposed immediately, how a protocol built for transparency can guarantee privacy and data protection. I participated in and discussed thoroughly with regulators to make this happen, and would like to share my findings: why the model is genuinely working and is promising for granting citizens quick access to justice, where it's still fragile, and how this surfaces the privacy-first agenda as something we can actually agree on with governments.
I'm a lawyer with several years of experience advising on blockchain and decentralized systems. Currently, I work for Kleros Cooperative, where I lead policy design and government initiatives to integrate the Kleros protocol into the public sector.
