What Is the Importance of a “Dispute Resolution System” in Decentralized Settlement?

A dispute resolution system is crucial in decentralized settlement to provide a final layer of security against oracle failure or manipulation. If a smart contract executes based on faulty oracle data, the dispute system allows participants to challenge the outcome.

This mechanism ensures that if the primary oracle fails, there is a recourse to correct the settlement, often involving a decentralized court or governance vote, thereby maintaining the integrity of the financial system.
