Internet Court

We need a way to find the truth.

It has never been harder to tell what's real. AI can produce a photo of something that never happened, a recording of words nobody said, a screenshot of a message nobody sent. Evidence used to settle arguments. Now it starts them.

Meanwhile, billions of people make claims to one another every day. You said you'd pay me back. That isn't what we agreed. The item never arrived. I did the work.

The system we built to settle these disputes is broken. Fewer than 1 in 100 federal civil cases ever reach trial. The rest are dropped, dismissed, or settled, often because one side ran out of money or patience before anyone looked at the facts.

Even a trial is no guarantee. It can take years and cost more than the dispute is worth, and the outcome can depend as much on who hired the better lawyer as on what actually happened. For most people, the courts aren't a path to the truth. They're a reason to give up.

Everything else gets settled by whoever is louder, whoever has more followers, or nobody at all. The internet gave everyone a voice. It didn't give anyone a way to decide who is right.

So we are building one: a court anyone can open from their phone. Someone brings a claim, the other side answers, the evidence goes on the record, and a jury reaches a verdict. It takes minutes, not months.

Every case teaches the system something: what evidence holds up, which arguments survive scrutiny, and how fair-minded people weigh a story. At scale, that becomes a mechanism for finding the truth that is fast, cheap, and fair enough to trust.


This matters more as the world changes.

Soon most claims won't be made by people. Agents will negotiate, transact, and make commitments on our behalf, millions of times a second. They will disagree about whether a task was done, whether a payment is owed, and whether a fact is true.

They can't call a lawyer, and they can't wait months for an answer. They need a neutral place to resolve a dispute in seconds, with a verdict that both sides, and the people behind them, will accept.

The same mechanism that settles an argument between two friends can settle one between two machines.

Truth is infrastructure. We're building it.
