Research Topics in Kleros Juror Selection Part 2 : Spectral Clustering using Soulbound Tokens

Research Topics in Kleros Juror Selection Part 2 : Spectral Clustering using Soulbound Tokens

Soulbound Tokens are an idea introduced by Ohlhaver, Weyl, and Buterin to enable a social, non-financial layer in blockchains. Individuals are awarded non-transferable Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) that attest to their on-chain experiences and perhaps aspects of their off-chain identity over time. We discussed some ideas about how Soulbound Tokens could

Uncommon answers: deposit sizes, lazy strategies, and peer prediction

Uncommon answers: deposit sizes, lazy strategies, and peer prediction

The Kleros protocol has been designed to incentivize jurors to expend time and effort to analyze subjective cases that can sometimes be complex. In particular, it is important that the protocol penalizes "lazy strategies", namely juror voting strategies where jurors do not expend an effort to properly analyze

Research Topics in Kleros Juror Selection – Blockchain Identity, Soulbound Tokens, and Models of Attack Resistance

When Kleros 1.0 was launched in 2019, the Ethereum ecosystem lacked good, decentralized, blockchain-based identity tools. Ethereum users were only identified by their address, and any user could generate as many addresses as they wanted so that it would seem that their actions were being made by many different
