Create Dispute Resolution Flow

[AndlerRL]

Context

The dispute system provides a structured approach to handling disagreements between parties. It implements the platform's arbitration mechanisms while maintaining the trustless nature of the blockchain operations.

Dispute Handling:

• Dispute filing.
• Evidence collection.
• Arbitrator assignment.
• Resolution enforcement.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Create /api/escrow/dispute endpoint.
• Implement dispute filing system.
• Add resolution tracking.
• Create mediation flow.

Development Notes:

• For dispute, we need to track it in a different table and live update the user.

CREATE TABLE escrow_reviews (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4(),
    escrow_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES escrow_contracts(id),
    milestone_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES escrow_milestones(id),
    reviewer_address TEXT NOT NULL,
    approved BOOLEAN,
    review_notes TEXT,
    created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    reviewed_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
);

• When disputing a contribution, mediadors would be reviewing the application off-chain and doing a final resolution on-chain.
• Our Auth SC might control these mediations (who can be a mediador). Verify with the SC before assigning a reviewer.

HI, can i take on this issue? In one hackathon i built a similar dispute resolution dapp. I am already familiar with the smart contract logic that it may require.
=> I have linked the solidity contract which does a similar thing.
=> It will need a little modification and enhancement to fit this project's need.

Yo AndlerRL, what’s good?

This dispute system gotta be airtight, transparent, and actually enforceable—none of that half-baked arbitration mess. Blockchain moves on trustless execution, not vibes, so the whole flow—filing, evidence collection, arbitration, and enforcement—needs to be locked in.

I’ve been in this backend game 15+ years, building secure, scalable systems that don’t just work—they last. Plus, I’ve been deep in blockchain since 2017, first piece hit Forbes.com, so I know how to structure off-chain mediation with on-chain finality the right way.

Here’s how I’ll move:
🔥 Real-time dispute tracking & live updates
🔥 Clean API endpoints for seamless case management
🔥 Off-chain mediation + on-chain enforcement so rulings actually stick
🔥 Smart contract verification for arbitrators so it’s fair & decentralized

I know OnlyDust be handing out rejections like free samples, but I ain’t here to just apply—I’m here to build. Let me tap in, and you’ll have a rock-solid dispute resolution system that actually holds weight.

Let’s run it.
