Bonded resolvers decide contested settlements by sealed vote.
When a payer contests a settlement, the money stays locked until the dispute closes. Each resolver posts a BRSR bond, seals a score, then reveals it, and the median sets how much goes back to the payer. Resolvers whose scores hold share the resolver fee. A sealed score that is never revealed, or one far from the median, loses part of the bond.
Bursar operates all three bonded resolvers, so Bursar decides every dispute here. Each ruling follows the published policy, the three resolvers cast the same score, and the reasons are published on the dispute once the votes are revealed.
A provider who delivered can send signed evidence from its desk until halfway through the sealing window. Bursar never overrides a dispute in which it is the payer or the provider.
The BRSR a resolver posts to vote on disputes. A vote that goes wrong costs part of it, and nothing else is at risk.

Contested settlements still open, soonest deadline first.
The resolver fee on each ruling, split between the scores that held.
When a dispute is ruled on, the resolver fee is split evenly between the resolvers whose revealed scores held. Unrevealed and outlying scores earn nothing, the same test that decides slashing. A dispute closed without a ruling pays no one. There is no fixed rate. What you receive depends on how many disputes are opened and ruled on.
How to take your bond back.
Leaving takes three steps: ask to unbond, wait out the cooldown, then complete the exit. Connect a wallet to see your bond.
Live from the dispute registry.
A dispute ends one of two ways, and once the reveal window closes, anyone can end it. A ruling takes the median of the revealed scores and splits the money by it, after the resolver fee. If too few resolvers reveal, the dispute closes without a ruling: the payment goes back on hold for the payee with a new deadline, the contest bond is returned, and no fee is taken. If the scores are too far apart to rule on, the payer gets the full amount back, also with no fee. If the USDG issuer blocks a payout, the escrow holds it for the recipient to claim, so no party can hold up a ruling.
Every bonded resolver can vote on every dispute, up to 64 resolvers, so no one can fill a panel ahead of the rest. The payer, the payee and the principal behind the paying account cannot vote on their own dispute.
Bonds are posted in BRSR. The staking pool sets the floor, the smallest bond that can vote, and every vote checks it. Governance can raise the floor for everyone or for one address, which benches a resolver at once without touching their bond. Topping up brings them back.
