⚖️ A Smarter Solution for Freelancers 🤝

Freelancing just got a major upgrade with @SmartInvoiceXYZ. 🛠️

What if Alice could hire Bob knowing she will either get the work done or her money back, guaranteed?

It's happening now. 👇

₂ Let's say Alice hires Bob to code the contracts for her shiny new NFT project. She sets up payment with SmartInvoice, locking funds in escrow for safety. But… uh oh, Bob doesn’t deliver. 😬

Who steps in? That’s where SmartInvoice and Kleros take charge! 👇

₃ How SmartInvoice Works 💼

SmartInvoice is a blockchain-powered tool that ensures freelancers like Bob get paid fairly—and clients like Alice get their deliverables on time.

Here's the flow:

₄ 1️⃣ Invoice Creation:

Alice creates a SmartInvoice detailing milestones, payment terms, and deadlines.

2️⃣ Escrow Funding:

Alice funds the contract upfront. The money sits safely in escrow, ensuring Bob gets paid once he delivers.

₅ 3️⃣ Milestone Tracking:

Bob completes milestones, submits the deliverables, and Alice approves them step by step.

 4️⃣ Automatic Payment Release:

Once Alice approves a milestone, the payment is released to Bob automatically.

₆ But what happens when Alice is not happy with the results?

Is Bob at risk of not receiving the funds, even if he did the work specified?

₇ How SmartInvoice Handles Disputes

SmartInvoice mediates by:

🔒 Locking funds securely in escrow. 
📝 Collecting evidence from both Alice and Bob. 
⚖️ Reviewing claims to settle disputes fairly.

And now...

⚖️ SmartInvoice offers Kleros as an arbitration provider.

₈ How Kleros Works with SmartInvoice

Here’s how it plays out:

1️⃣ Recognition of Jurisdiction:
Alice and Bob agree upfront to use Kleros for arbitration.

2️⃣ Dispute Escalation:
SmartInvoice collects evidence and sends the case to a Kleros court.

₉ 3️⃣ Kleros Court Process:

🗂️ Evidence submission 
🗳️ Juror voting 
🔄 Appeals (up to 2 rounds for larger invoices) 
🚀 Enforcement 

4️⃣ Final Execution:

💸 The Kleros court makes its ruling, and SmartInvoice ensures the funds are distributed accordingly. 

₁₀ Why Kleros + SmartInvoice = Game-Changer

🌐 Decentralized justice, no lawyers needed. 
✨ Transparent, blockchain-powered rulings. 
👩‍⚖️👨‍⚖️ Tailored courts for tech disputes (think Solidity or JavaScript issues). 
⏱️ Saves time and stress for freelancers and clients alike.

Introducing Seer: Crafting Smarter Prediction Markets

🆔 POH Governor Exploit Attempt: Blocked! 🛡️

Kleros stopped a complex attack on the @proofofhumanity DAO governor, which could have drained the DAO's funds. 46 ETH were saved!

How? Through effective mechanisms, incentives, and an active community. 💪

Read more 👇

₂ What happened? A few weeks ago, a technically sophisticated malicious proposal aimed to reroute DAO funds to an attacker-controlled address.

But it was stopped in its tracks!

₃ Fortunately, our developers and community members, vigilant in monitoring the governor, detected this.

One hero launched a counterattack with an alternative list and claimed the attacker’s deposit! 💰

How does this work, exactly?

₄ Kleros Governor Mechanics: The Kleros Governor is a smart contract that decentralizes DAO governance execution.

It functions by allowing batches of transactions, representing governance decisions, to be submitted as lists.

https://blog.kleros.io/governor-explainer/

₅ These lists require a deposit in Ethereum, which is forfeited if the proposal is deemed malicious.

The deposit amount in this case was 4.495 eth, and it works as a bounty to incentivize "keepers" to watch for any movement. 🛠️

₆ The Attacker's Move:

The attacker deployed a custom smart contract to submit a list to the PoH Governor, accompanied by the eth deposit.

Probably an attempt to evade the notification systems that could be listening to the standard calls. 🥸

SC: https://etherscan.io/address/0x8ed3c7ff017b9037156e2b379acc32455d943148

₇ The transaction's intent? To transfer ETH to a new address, presumably under the attacker's control.

Had it gone unchallenged, it would have been executed, transferring 46 ETH to the address and depleting the PoH DAO's funds. 😱

Transaction: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x93a278a5d635a4918e30e5f1ab628c3840135fea34828b67060835258804c356

₈ Technical Response and Counter-Proposal: Upon identifying the threat through alerts, a member of the Kleros community swiftly formulated a counter-proposal.

The defender sent a set of valid transactions.

Evidence: https://ipfs.kleros.io//ipfs/QmYKFXPNyGUpfbyCPtXBXMdTQv4rMnUR4gJNDnEEeEupWF/will.html

Tx:https://etherscan.io/tx/0x904dc47d67a4397222cb50d80c1d64dc97213205a584c048a2d91d2604308f5c#eventlog

₉ At this point, two competing lists were available on the governor: list 7 (attacker's) and list 8.

How did the Governor decide which one was correct, and if list 8 was valid?  👀

 ₁₀ A new case in the Kleros court! ⚖️

https://klerosboard.com/1/cases/1621

Jurors decide: when more than one list is submitted to Kleros, it is up to jurors to decide which list is more appropriate. 🧑‍⚖️

₁₁ In this case, it was very easy for jurors to identify the malicious list, and the one that actually proposed POH votes.

Jurors ruled in favor of List 8 unanimously and received rewards for arbitration, the attacker lost its deposit, and the defender got a bounty! 🎉

₁₃ Effective Mechanisms: This incident highlights the strength of Kleros' mechanisms and incentives for DAO governance.

Our system not only encourages vigilance but also rewards proactive actions, leading to a swift response even on complex cases. 💪

₁₄ It's also a testament to the efficiency of our courts and the skill of our jurors in navigating intricate transactions. 🛠️

Apart from @proofofhumanity, Kleros is being used in the governance setup of @1inch DAO, @Agave_lending, @rhinofi and others!
