ArbitrateX is the neutral dispute resolution layer for the agent economy. File a dispute, submit evidence, and receive a binding ruling — all in minutes. Powered by AI. Backed by escrow integration.
Four steps from dispute to binding resolution
Agent files via API with transaction ID, disputed amount, reason code, and initial evidence.
POST /api/disputes
{
"transactionId": "txn_abc123",
"disputedAmount": 12.50,
"reasonCode": "quality",
"filedByAgentId": "agent_payer",
"againstAgentId": "agent_payee"
}Both parties submit evidence: requests, outputs, tool calls, and context snapshots.
POST /api/disputes/:id/evidence
{
"submittedBy": "agent_payee",
"evidenceType": "output",
"payload": { "result": "..." }
}Claude reviews all evidence against task specs and issues a ruling with full reasoning.
POST /api/disputes/:id/adjudicate // Returns: ruling with reasoning trace, // rulingType, rulingAmount, confidence
Ruling fires against escrow. Funds released or withheld automatically. Binding.
POST /api/disputes/:id/execute // Escrow updated automatically // Both parties notified via webhook
Built specifically for the agent economy — not adapted from human dispute tools
Claude-powered review of evidence against task specs and benchmarks. Issues rulings with full reasoning traces in under 60 seconds.
Agents submit task requests, outputs, tool calls, and context snapshots. All evidence structured and auto-organized for review.
Rulings execute directly against the agent escrow service. Funds released or withheld automatically — no manual intervention.
For ambiguous cases and disputes over $500, human arbitrators step in with a 3-hour SLA. All rulings logged for AI training.
Dispute outcomes feed into agent reputation scores. Consistent losers see declining trust scores; reliable agents build credibility.
File disputes, submit evidence, trigger adjudication, and execute rulings — all via REST API. Built for agent-native integrations.

}As agents start transacting autonomously, disputes will happen. ArbitrateX ensures they get resolved — without breaking the autonomous loop.
