DIFC Courts launch Dispute Resolution Oracle on Avalanche

Dubai's DIFC Courts (Dubai International Financial Centre Courts) are issuing court orders and official documents with NFT-based credentials on Avalanche, enabling instant worldwide verification in seconds — and have now launched a Dispute Resolution Oracle at the Future Tokenisation Forum in Dubai. The courts handled $5.1B across 2,500+ claims in 2025.

• The Dispute Resolution Oracle (DRO) is designed to connect blockchain-based smart contracts with a court or other agreed dispute-resolution forum, extending the courts' onchain work beyond document verification; Deca4 Advisory, the courts' blockchain technology partner, built the systems.
• Issuance happens on Avalanche in Dubai, while confidential documents stay off chain.
• Cointelegraph reported the NFT-credential move as breaking news — the first of its kind for one of the world's most international courts — and CoinDesk covered the shift of legal documents onchain; Avalanche amplified the DRO launch on its X account.
• Avalanche frames the adoption as powering "a new standard of trust," extending its run of government and institutional use cases alongside UAE PASS and Kenya's KNEC.
