# FrogPay Jury Dispute Management

For more **complex** dispute resolution, having an **impartial**, **independent** jury to provide a verdict may be **helpful**. The platform will **randomly** pick jurors from the juror pool and require them to vote after **examining** evidence and details. The protocol has mechanisms to **resist** Sybil attacks by random selection of jurors and staking mechanisms. Jurors will **earn reputation points** based on their verdict (majority vs minority). In the longer term, a negative reputation may result in a **ban** or **reduced opportunities**. This **ensures** jurors do proper due diligence and primarily provide judgment that concurs with other random and **independent** jurors.

JDM is a **decentralized** system consisting of a jury of N jurors, **randomly** selected from the jury pool. 

To become a juror, the user must be **staking** $FRGP tokens and complete the **proof of humanity** ( see the section on Sybil resistance ).

The system follows Thomas Schelling's **Shilling Point theory**. Each jury member is **anonymous** and **independent** of the other. They will vote through a secret ballot to **prevent** the other jurors from being **influenced** by others. If a juror decides to abstain, they will be **replaced** by another random juror, up to **5 replacements**.

To obtain a result in the dispute, a **quorum** must be reached under the following conditions: 

* **Clear majority verdict to settle the dispute (1+ N/2 votes)**
* **The majority abstained from triggering escalation to FrogPay Dispute Analyst**

**Incentive** mechanism:

The juror fee will be **distributed equally** among all voting participants to incentivize **independent** juror participation.

\
With each decision, jurors will **earn** or **lose** reputation points. Jurors in the majority pool will **earn** reputation points and jurors in the **minority** opinion will **lose** reputation points.

Reputation points will be one of the **critical** factors in the selection of jurors. Jurors with reputation points **below** a threshold will **lose** their staked token and must re-stake and requalify. A pattern of **negative reputation** may earn a permanent **disqualification** from becoming a juror. This mechanism should **disincentivize** jurors to participate in many disputes with **random voting**. 

 Jurors who abstain will be replaced by other jurors **without** penalty or incentive.
