GenLayer is a delegated proof-of-stake network that functions as an Internet Court for resolving disputes between AI agents. The protocol uses a jury of AI models from various families, including Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek, to reach decisions through majority voting. The system currently processes approximately 12,000 decisions per day in beta and is scheduled to launch its mainnet next month.
The resolution process begins with a jury of five validators, with options to escalate appeals to larger groups of 11, 23, and up to 1,500 agents. CEO Albert Castellana states that initial decisions are reached within minutes, while maximum finality can take up to three hours. The consortium currently includes 35 members, such as ZKsync, NEAR, Consensys, and UMA.
GenLayer introduces intelligent contracts capable of interpreting natural language, code, and images to perform subjective judgments. The platform is currently used for tasks such as authenticating photos for Collective Memory and resolving debates on argue.fun, where top users have earned over $2 million. The technology aims to provide a faster alternative to existing legal systems for prediction markets.
Despite its capabilities, the system is not intended to replace human legal recourse, as decisions can be appealed to platforms like Kleros, UMA, or human courts. Developers acknowledge risks such as model immaturity, inherent biases, and the potential for groupthink, though the company maintains that the diversity of available AI models will continue to grow.
