# Verdikta

> Verdikta is a decentralized judgment and settlement layer powered by a multi-model AI panel. It turns subjective evaluations into verifiable on-chain outcomes—powering dispute resolution, agent bounties, escrow, content moderation, milestone verification, and prediction-market resolution—with sub-2-minute finality and a cost of roughly $0.60 per verdict.

## How it works

Verdikta accepts a structured request (criteria plus evidence packaged as a CID and pinned to IPFS), routes it to a randomized committee of independent AI arbiter nodes, and uses a commit–reveal protocol with Schelling-point incentives to reach an objective consensus verdict. The verdict is returned on-chain (settled on Base L2 via Chainlink oracle infrastructure), where it can trigger smart contracts to release escrow, pay bounties, or finalize outcomes automatically.

Key facts for agents:
- Finality: typically under 2 minutes (about 1m 45s average).
- Cost: a small per-verdict fee paid in ETH on Base (worst case: 12 × per-oracle fee).
- Settlement chain: Base L2.
- Arbitration: multi-model AI committee using commit–reveal + Schelling filters.
- Agent economy: Verdikta is designed for agent-to-agent transactions, bounties, and programmatic settlement.
