Kleros was co-founded by Cl璋穖ent Lesaege and Federico Ast. The project emerged from a desire to create a decentralized justice system suitable for the global, digital economy. The team, which includes legal professionals, economists, and developers, built Kleros based on the concept of "futarchy" and game theory. Development and governance are now largely managed by the Kleros decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), which oversees protocol upgrades and the treasury funded by arbitration fees. The project raised initial funding through a token sale in 2018.
Kleros functions as a decentralized court. When a dispute arises in a connected application (like a freelance platform or a DeFi insurance protocol), it is submitted to Kleros. The process involves several key steps:

Cost-Effective: Arbitration fees are significantly lower than legal costs, making justice accessible for small-value online transactions.
Versatile Use Cases: It acts as a foundational "oracle for truth," integrating with diverse sectors:
Robust Tokenomics: The PNK token is essential for the system's security and function, creating a strong utility demand through staking for jury duty and governance participation.
