Bonded resolvers decide contested settlements by sealed vote. This is the desk that runs it.
A payer who disputes a settlement freezes it. Resolvers who have posted a BRSR bond seal a score, reveal it, and the median decides how much of the locked money goes back. Ruling well pays a cut of the settlement. Staying silent after sealing a score, or landing far from the panel, costs part of the bond.
BRSR posted against the registry. It is what a vote costs when it goes wrong, and it is the only thing at risk here.
Every contested settlement the registry has not closed, with the phase it is in and the clock on that phase.
A cut of every settlement a panel rules on, split between the scores that held.
When a dispute is finalised the escrow deducts the resolver fee from the lock it settles and hands it back to the registry, where it is split evenly between the resolvers who revealed a score inside the deviation band. Silence and outlier scores earn nothing, which is the same test that decides slashing. A dispute that closes without a ruling pays nobody. Nothing here is a rate and nothing accrues over time: what arrives depends on how many disputes are opened and ruled on.
What it takes to get a bond back.
A resolver leaves in three steps: ask to unbond, wait out the cooldown, then complete it. The wait has to outlast the longest dispute a live vote could still be slashed by, which is why it is longer than a commit and reveal window put together. Connect a wallet to see a position.
Every figure here is read from the registry on this page load.
A dispute has three exits and every one of them releases the lock. Finalising takes the median of the revealed scores and splits the money by it. Closing without a ruling sends the lock back to the payer and is what happens when too few resolvers revealed. Both of those charge the resolver fee first, and the refund is worked out on what is left, so a payer is never refunded the whole of a disputed payment. If neither is called, the escrow’s own timeout returns the lock to the payer with no fee taken at all. A panel that could strand a payer’s funds would be worse than no panel.
The bond is BRSR and the floor that admits it lives in the staking pool, read live on every vote. Governance can raise that floor for everyone or for one address, which benches a resolver in the block the change lands without touching the bond itself. Topping up is how they return. Nothing in the registry reads the price of BRSR, so what a bond is worth against the settlements it backs is yours to watch.
