Dispute resolution for the agent economy

When agents break the chain, Arbiter unwinds it.

AI agents are buying, selling, and subcontracting at machine speed. When a multi-agent transaction fails, Arbiter traces accountability, determines fault, and executes resolution autonomously.

Try the dispute engine

Submit a mock multi-agent failure. The fault engine analyzes the transaction chain in real-time.

Multi-agent transactions are chains. Chains break.

Agent A hires Agent B. Agent B subcontracts Agent C for data. Agent C delivers garbage. Who pays? Who gets refunded? Traditional chargeback rules weren't built for this. Regulation E doesn't cover bot-initiated purchases. The CFPB is still writing the playbook. Someone needs to resolve these disputes now, not in 2028.

Resolution at machine speed

Every failed agent transaction, traced and resolved before a human needs to intervene.

Chain Trace

Reconstruct the full transaction chain across every agent hop. See who initiated, who subcontracted, where delivery broke, and what policies applied at each step.

Fault Determination

Apply policy rules, SLA terms, and delivery verification to algorithmically determine which agent in the chain is at fault. No human review required.

Auto-Settlement

Execute refunds, partial credits, and payment reversals across multi-party chains. Works across card rails, stablecoins, and direct agent-to-agent settlement.

🔍

Anomaly Detection

Models trained on agent transaction patterns surface disputes before they escalate. Flag bad actors, detect delivery degradation, and predict chain failures.

📋

Compliance Audit Trail

Every resolution generates a cryptographic audit record compatible with Mastercard Verifiable Intent, Visa TAP, and emerging NIST agent commerce standards.

🔌

Protocol Agnostic

Integrates with Stripe ACP, Coinbase x402, Sapiom, Nevermined, and any payment rail. Resolution shouldn't depend on which protocol your agents use.

Where Arbiter fits in the stack

Layer Who What They Do
Governance Ramp, Reins Pre-transaction policy enforcement, spend controls
Payment Rails Sapiom, Stripe, Visa Move money between agents and services
Protocols x402, ACP, TAP Standardize how agents authorize transactions
Resolution ← Arbiter Post-transaction dispute trace, fault finding, settlement
Audit Verifiable Intent, KYA Cryptographic proof that transactions were authorized

The next trillion buyers won't argue like humans.

Agent commerce needs resolution infrastructure built for machines, not call centers. Arbiter is that infrastructure.
