Looks like it’s just an normal escrow intermediated by this « Kleros team » but with a smartcontract in the middle (why?) in the middle. I’m not sure what is « decentralized » about this since a team decides who is right and who is wrong.
Send the payment into an escrow account. If a dispute occurs, a panel of Kleros jurors will handle resolution. Kleros Escrow protects both the buyer and the seller by ensuring both parties perform according to the agreement.
So how are disputes resolved?
Kleros selects a crowdsourced jury to make the ruling. Upon reviewing the evidence, jurors will make a decision enforced by smart contract. All evidence is secured in the blockchain and nobody can tamper with the procedure. To learn how this works, read Kleros whitepaper.
