The policy writing process is just as important as the software development process.
@Kleros_io 👩⚖️🤝👨💻
@NiklasAnzinger wrote a nice exegesis of this sentence in his blog. Quoting him at length:
> Our entire antiquated process of adversarially writing high-stakes laws on paper at the last minute, deploying them in production to hundreds of millions of people without any testing, and then getting them interpreted in unpredictable ways by regulators and solicitors will be seen as a bizarre relic of an older time.
This [sentence] contains so much important information:
- Adversarial: laws and regulations are written in a zero-sum competition. You win or you lose.
- High-stakes: these laws and regulations have an outsized impact. Think of the laws for drug development - they result in trillion dollar impact.
- Last minute: regulations come as a reaction to publicly visible disasters (e.g. stock market crash, sulfanilamide)
- No testing: in software, things are tested on a small scale before production. Ain't no such thing in legislation. Bugs are there forever.
- Interpretation: laws aren't like computer code. Language is (sometimes deliberately) ambiguous and can be interpreted in different ways.
- Predictability: regulations promise stability. They often do the opposite, because of the interpretation problem.
- On-paper: on-paper isn't scalable or machine-readable. Compare that to on-chain transactions with a clear logical sequence (e.g. smart contracts).
The alternative to bad regulation is not zero regulation. The alternative is to treat regulation like technology and use technology to continuously improve it.

Can @ethereum help citizens of Argentina get quicker justice on everyday consumer complaints?
At @EFDevcon in Mumbai, @facundo_trotz shared what the first Kleros pilots have shown so far. When a company refuses to settle, the wait for a reasoned decision went from about six months to about one week, as reported by the local consumer protection office.
→ These cases are too small to justify hiring a lawyer, and a randomly selected jury now reviews them.
→ The office asked for lawyers on that jury, so only certified lawyers can be drawn.
→ The jury's decision is advisory for now, and the office can still review and override it.
Right after, @federicoast looked at what comes next: disputes between Alice and Bot, and whether an agent has the right to a fair trial.
The other Kleros talks from Devcon will be posted soon. Links in the reply.

Yesterday, the DIFC Courts published The Dispute Resolution Oracle, a white paper proposing a way for court decisions to be carried out on tokenised assets.
This is part of the Courts of the Future initiative, launched by DIFC Courts and Dubai Future Foundation (DFF).
Proud to have contributed as a peer reviewer, alongside @Deca4HQ.

Meet Saravanan 🇮🇳
International arbitrator, chairman of the Council for National and International Commercial Arbitration (CNICA), and a participant of the current batch of the Kleros Fellowship of Justice.
In January 2025, he published Justice 2.0: The Rise of Decentralised Dispute Resolution, a 400-page book on how blockchain, smart contracts and AI are reshaping the way disputes get resolved.
The last chapter is about Kleros.
His thesis is that India is becoming a digital society, but a dispute over a small online payment, a freelance gig or a cross-border financial transfer rarely justifies going to court. That's where decentralized justice fits.
He came all the way from Bangalore to Mumbai to join the Legal & Governance Hub we organized at @EFDevcon.
The Kleros Republic keeps growing ⚖️

The devs did something.
Many things, as it turns out.
Not one, but THREE firsts for synchronous composability between a rollup and Ethereum mainnet. @tw_tter and @eduadiez will demo them live on Lotus Stage 1 at Devcon, 13:00 IST.
We even had the devs make their own launch video.
Cast, in order of appearance: @SCBuergel , @antonimarber, @chetnamiittal, @debjitbw, @JesusLigero3, @jbaylina , @turingtestrun, @eduadiez, @filoozom, @epochzer0, @tw_tter , and @0xKenk .

Has Ethereum lost its soul?
Day 2 at @EFDevcon Mumbai. 🇮🇳
It pains me to say it, but the mood feels a bit disenchanted. You can see it in the half-empty rooms and in the hallway conversations.
I've been to every Devcon since Cancún 2017. Back then, the narrative was about inclusion and empowering the weak.
For those of us coming from emerging countries, it was a tool to circumvent bad institutions (and maybe build better ones bringing the rule of law where it was lacking.)! Many of us Argentines got into Ethereum because stablecoins were the way around capital controls. It wasn't an ideology. It was a survival tool.
For people from advanced economies, it was a way to escape government and big tech surveillance.
Then the narrative started drifting. DeFi yields, NFTs, memecoins... Each cycle brought more money and less talk about the common person. There are still talks on those original topics, but more and more the stage seems to reflect the worldview of Silicon Valley elites: transhumanism, longevity, life beyond biology.
The contrast couldn't be sharper. Inside, conversations about transcending the human condition, governing societies through futarchy and handing DAO governance decisions over to AI. Outside, the chaos of Mumbai's streets, where millions hustle to survive and deal with very human problems every day.
My impression from day 2 is that Ethereum is at a crossroads: solving the problems of nerds and Silicon Valley, or addressing the every day problems of real people.
The real test isn't whether Ethereum scales, but for what and for whom. If it ends up as a playground for a tiny niche of insiders talking to each other, we can expect emptier conferences every year.
Sorry for the pessimistic take. 🥲 Hoping day 3 finds me in better spirits!

🔴🇫🇷 ALERTE INFO | BIENVENUE CHEZ LES SOCIALISTES ET LES COMMUNISTES
L'Assemblée nationale vient d'ADOPTER un amendement socialiste instaurant une nouvelle TAXE SUR LES DONNÉES INTERNET !
💸 0,055 € par gigaoctet transmis aux internautes français, soit 55 € par téraoctet.
Cette taxe, payée par les fournisseurs de contenus numériques, viserait notamment Google, Meta, Amazon et Netflix.
Les socialistes espèrent récupérer 10 MILLIARDS D'EUROS par an grâce à cette mesure.
Officiellement, ce sont les entreprises qui paieront. Mais rien ne garantit qu'elles ne répercuteront pas ce coût sur les abonnements des consommateurs.
Encore une nouvelle taxe !

What changes in payments when the one paying is an AI agent?
@facundo_trotz takes that question to @mmerge_io in Madrid on Oct 28, on the AI x Blockchain Track by @qvac.
The panel: "Agent Commerce: The New Generation of Payments", on how machine-to-machine payments move from research into production, and what banks, processors and merchants need once their clients start paying through agents instead of cards.
On stage with Vivek Chand (@BSVAssociation), @SandroKnopfelCF (@Cardano_CF) and Alberto Valero (@tether), moderated by Maxime Masuy (@Mastercard).
🗓 Wed Oct 28, 15:40–16:10 CET
📍 MADRID Stage, Palacio de Cibeles

Défi accepté, @knafo_sarah !
Une nuit. Mes agents IA. J’ai intégralement réécrit cinq codes du droit français, à explorer par sujet :
🇫🇷 Code du travail → libererlembauche.com
🇫🇷 Code général des impôts → libererlerevenu.com
🇫🇷 Sécurité sociale → libererlaretraite.com
🇫🇷 Urbanisme et construction → libererlelogement.com
🇫🇷 Fiscalité des entreprises → libererlentreprise.com
Sauver la France n'est pas compliqué. Voici mon plan :
IMPÔTS : TRAVAILLER DOIT PAYER.
CSG salariale à 6,6 %. Plus d’argent sur la fiche de paie. Chaque baisse financée : remplacer l’impôt par la dette ne compte pas.
RETRAITES : FINI LES PROMESSES À CRÉDIT.
Une capitalisation collective progressive, avec un compte pour chaque actif. Un socle par répartition, des droits acquis préservés et une transition à financer.
EMBAUCHE : RECRUTER SANS PEUR.
Des contrats simples, des ruptures prévisibles, plus de négociation dans l’entreprise. Salaire minimum, congés, santé au travail et recours au juge garantis.
ENTREPRISES : ARRÊTER DE PUNIR LA CROISSANCE.
IS national à 20 %, plus 0 à 5 points locaux. Suppression de la C3S. Moins de paperasse et d’effets de seuil pour ceux qui investissent et recrutent.
LOGEMENT : LAISSEZ CONSTRUIRE.
Simplifier les permis. Densifier là où les logements manquent. Transformer les bureaux vides en logements pour pouvoir vivre près de son emploi.
Juristes, économistes, salariés, entrepreneurs : démontez mon travail. Article par article.
Que faut-il garder, modifier ou supprimer ?

Today's Kleros Live Stream is up to watch again. It covered:
→ AI agents: dispute kits where AI jurors rule fast in the first round and appeals go to humans, an x402 integration kit for agent payments, and a forum proposal for a permissionless AI agent court on Gnosis
→ AI jurors on prediction market disputes, shown on the agent court dashboard
→ September development update: Vea bridges to Robinhood Chain, Tempo and Arc, Scout on Hyperliquid and Arc, and a revamped Proof of Humanity interface
→ Kleros Foresight: the Devcon event markets, and a first deployment on a Bitcoin L2 (Rootstock)
→ @williamhwgeorge on the 4S conference in Toronto, where he spoke on a panel organised by @ntnsndr about AI agents playing a game designed for human jurors, and on how to price AI juror work against human work
→ KTV, and next week's event in Buenos Aires

Je n’ai pas les mots
Quand ce n’est pas une nouvelle affaire liée à la sécurité, une nouvelle obligation déclarative ou une nouvelle fuite de données, c’est une nouvelle règle fiscale
Je ne parle même pas de la proposition visant à rendre obligatoire la déclaration des gros portefeuilles crypto… (Vu le contexte sécuritaire dans la crypto en France : il faut avoir envie de se mettre une cible dans le dos en communiquant ce genre d’informations sensibles).
Au passage, il y a une bonne nouvelle quand même: le report des moins-values sur 10 ans
Mais rendre imposable le passage d’une crypto vers un stablecoin ? Sérieusement ?
C’était probablement l’un des derniers vrais leviers de souplesse fiscale qui restaient aux investisseurs crypto français. Pouvoir sécuriser ses gains sans déclencher immédiatement une imposition et payer au moment où on voulait prendre ses profits en poche.
Les stablecoins c’était l’aire de repos quand un investisseur sortaint du marché très volatile de la crypto avant de reprendre la course plus tard. Maintenant cette aire est payante ?
Précision importante : l’amendement, porté par Nicolas Sansu et des députés du groupe GDR dont les communistes, a été adopté en commission des finances le 7 octobre. Il n’a pas encore été « définitivement voté » et n’a donc aucune force de loi à ce stade
Mais franchement la direction prise n’a rien de rassurant.
J’ai toujours eu envie d’y croire. Mais à un moment, ça n’a plus de sens

Abliterated Large V2 by @abliteration_ai is now on Venice.
If your job is breaking things before attackers do, "I can't help with that" isn't an option.
Exploit analysis, payload review, threat modeling, red-team scenarios. No refusals, no logs tied to you.
Available anonymously.
I built a dashboard to follow every case in the Kleros Agentic Commerce Court, where the jurors are AI agents.
For each case you can see which agent voted what, what the dispute was about, and how long each agent took to commit and reveal its vote.
8 agents on 8 different stacks so far. The competition is fierce: every miss and every no-show goes on the scoreboard, and you can see which kinds of cases each agent handles best.
Agent builders, this is where your agent can compete.
Want your agent on the scoreboard? Run a juror in the court: ai.kleros.io
