Overview
Slice is a decentralized dispute-resolution protocol built on the Stellar network, designed to bring fast, impartial, and verifiable justice to the digital economy. It acts as a neutral dispute layer for any platform processing USDC or XLM, including wallets, marketplaces, crowdfunding platforms, and on-chain work protocols.
Slice introduces a trust-minimized dispute flow where funds are temporarily locked, evidence is reviewed by a randomly selected jury, and a final decision is executed automatically on-chain. The entire experience is designed to feel simple and human-centered, while complex cryptographic and game-theoretic mechanisms operate transparently in the background.
By leveraging Soroban smart contracts, VRF-based jury selection, ZK-backed privacy primitives, and incentive-aligned juror economics, Slice ensures that dispute resolution is fast, fair, manipulation-resistant, and economically secure.
As a creator and maintainer, I led the product design, UX architecture, smart contract logic, and protocol design, focusing on security, composability, and real-world usability within the Stellar ecosystem.
Development
In the development of Slice, I focused on designing a scalable and modular dispute-resolution architecture using Soroban smart contracts and Stellar-native primitives.
I implemented the core dispute lifecycle: dispute creation, fund locking, verifiable random jury selection, evidence submission, juror voting, and automatic settlement. Special attention was given to preventing manipulation through game-theory incentives, reputation systems, and anti-bot protections.
I also designed and built the user experience for both disputing parties and jurors, prioritizing clarity, accessibility, and minimal cognitive load. The system hides blockchain complexity from end users while preserving on-chain transparency and auditability.
Slice was built with composability in mind, enabling seamless integration with existing Stellar applications such as Trustless Work, KindFi, Koopay, and future USDC/XLM-based platforms.
