As economic activities increasingly occur on-chain, execution has become automated, but dispute resolution remains within traditional legal systems, creating a structural gap in internet-based economies.

DAO members are globally distributed, DeFi users participate through addresses rather than identities, and smart contracts execute automatically.

When contract bugs, oracle errors, or governance conflicts arise, traditional courts often find it difficult to intervene promptly.

Traditional judiciary systems are limited by geography, with slow procedures, high costs, and complex cross-border enforcement, whereas smart contracts do not wait for rulings.

The Internet Court is proposed in this context. It offers an internet-native dispute resolution framework that allows digital disputes to be raised, reviewed, and arbitrated within a transparent, structured, cross-jurisdictional system that aligns with on-chain economic operations.

For example, when a cross-chain DeFi protocol triggers mass liquidations due to oracle anomalies, involving users worldwide holding on-chain assets, traditional legal systems struggle to intervene quickly. The Internet Court provides an internet-native arbitration pathway, reducing reliance on centralized arbitration.

As AI agents, on-chain protocols, and global digital collaboration expand, such disputes will only increase.

The Internet Court aims to establish an internet-native dispute resolution layer that works alongside the on-chain execution layer, enabling DAOs, DeFi users, and cross-border digital collaborators to resolve conflicts efficiently.
