UMA Launches Dispute Resolution System
UMA has introduced a new dispute resolution mechanism where users can challenge outcomes by posting bonds. The system works through a structured process: - Users stake UMA tokens as collateral - Participants can dispute decisions by posting bonds - Token holders vote on disputed outcomes - Winners receive rewards from the bond pool This builds on UMA's existing voting infrastructure, providing a financial incentive for accurate dispute resolution. The mechanism aims to ensure fair outcomes through economic stakes rather than centralized arbitration. *Note: Users must hold and stake UMA tokens to participate in the dispute process.*
