How each model solves the same problems
Instead of “democracy versus anarchism”, compare the concrete ways collective problems get solved.
| Question | + Model | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| How are decisions made? | Jurors are drawn in proportion to staked PNK, vote on evidence, and the majority decides; losing parties can appeal to larger juries. | Grand Council of 50 chiefs chosen by clan mothers; questions pass between groups of nations, each seeking unanimity, with the Onondaga Firekeepers confirming or resolving disagreement. | |
| How are conflicts resolved? | Online evidence submission, juror vote and multi-round appeals; the ruling is executed by smart contract.Arbitration | The Confederacy describes the Grand Council as resolving disputes among the nations and planning for the welfare of all the people. | |
| How are public goods funded? | Funded by arbitration fees paid by the parties and by token incentives. | Unknown | |
| How is AI used? | Core rulings are by human jurors; Kleros reports experiments with AI participants in curation courts. | No documented AI role. | |
| What are the main risks? | Stake-weighted selection favours large holders; collusion or bribery; enforcement beyond the chain depends on state recognition. | Operates alongside US and Canadian governments, which limits its practical jurisdiction; its rule of unanimity within and between blocs requires broad agreement.CLM-0117CLM-0118 |
This illustrates differences in design; it is not a universal claim about outcomes. Each cell links to mechanisms and the claims behind them.
