A Technical Comparison for FinTech Leaders
DAO Resolution vs. Traditional Card Chargebacks
For CTOs evaluating dispute resolution systems, this table contrasts the operational, financial, and technical realities of building a decentralized alternative versus relying on legacy card networks.
| Key Factor | Traditional Card Network | Chainscore DAO-Based System |
|---|---|---|
Time to Final Resolution | 30-90 days | 7-14 days |
Dispute Fee per Case | 15-25% of transaction | Fixed 2-5% protocol fee |
Fraud Prevention Mechanism | Post-transactional, reactive | Pre-emptive staking & reputation |
Technical Integration Complexity | High (bank partnerships, PCI DSS) | Moderate (API & smart contract) |
Operational Overhead | High (manual review teams) | Low (automated governance) |
Settlement Finality | Reversible for months | Immutable after DAO vote |
Developer Control & Customization | None (closed network rules) | Full (open-source, programmable rules) |
Global Accessibility | Restricted by banking licenses | Permissionless, borderless |
Typical Implementation Timeline | 6-12+ months | 8-12 weeks |
First-Year Total Cost | $200K-$1M+ in fees & overhead | $50K-$150K development + protocol fees |

DAO-Based Dispute Resolution
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on how our DAO-powered chargeback alternative system works, from implementation to ongoing operations.
Our system replaces traditional chargebacks with an on-chain, community-governed arbitration process. When a dispute is filed, it's assigned to a randomly selected panel of verified DAO members (e.g., 3-5 jurors). Both parties submit evidence to a secure, immutable case file. Jurors review the case based on pre-defined, transparent rules and vote using the native governance token. The majority decision is executed automatically via smart contract, with funds released to the prevailing party. This typically resolves disputes in 24-72 hours, compared to 30-90 days for traditional chargebacks.
