ChainThink reports that on November 9, according to UAE media The National, the Dubai International Financial Centre Courts (DIFC Courts) released a white paper proposing a framework for a "Dispute Resolution Oracle" to connect courts and other dispute resolution bodies with blockchain networks, enabling judgments to be directly executed against on-chain digital assets.
According to the proposal, the parties must agree in advance to resolve disputes through a designated court or arbitration tribunal. Assets such as tokenized real estate and smart contract funds may be temporarily frozen during the dispute, and after a ruling is issued, the system may send an authorized execution instruction to the blockchain.
The framework also addresses disputes related to tokenized stocks and AI agents, and includes safeguards such as cooling-off periods, the right to appeal, and multiple approvals required before enforcement. This framework is voluntary and intended as an international standard for adoption by other jurisdictions, not for implementation in Dubai.
The framework was jointly developed by the DIFC Courts and DECA4 Advisory and will undergo public consultation and controlled testing before official deployment.
