The Kleros Fellowship of Justice Welcomes Its' 5th Batch

Meet our new Fellows building the future of decentralized justice!

Since its' inception in 2018, the Kleros Fellowship of Justice has welcomed incredible minds - from prestigious attorneys and arbitrators to professors, students and entrepreneurs with the shared goal of delivering novel tools for the use of Kleros.

We are happy to welcome a new cohort of experts researching applications of Kleros in fields as diverse as intellectual property for NFTs, decentralized identity, venture capital and more.

Without further ado, let's meet our new Fellows advancing the decentralized justice movement!
