Dispute Mediation
Multisignature technology enables escrow services where mediators can resolve disputes without ever controlling the funds directly. This creates a competitive market for dispute resolution.
How it Works:
Transaction Setup
Buyer and seller agree on terms and select a mediator
Multisig Wallet
Funds are locked in a 2-of-3 multisig address (buyer, seller, mediator keys)
Successful Transaction
Buyer and seller sign to release funds - no mediator needed
Dispute Resolution
If dispute occurs, mediator decides outcome with buyer or seller
Key Benefits
- Mediator never has sole control of funds
- Marketplace of mediators based on reputation and fees
- Buyer/seller can choose mediator after funds are locked
- Smart contracts can automate parts of the process
Flexible Transparency
Bitcoin's blockchain provides an immutable public ledger while preserving privacy through pseudonymity. Organizations can choose the level of transparency that suits their needs.
