Reality (Oracle)

Reality Module currently uses Kleros V1 for arbitration. V2 integration is planned.
Reality.eth is a crowdsourced oracle system where anyone can post questions and answers with economic bonds. Kleros serves as the final arbitration layer when an answer on Reality.eth is disputed and the bond escalation reaches its limit, the dispute is sent to Kleros Court for resolution. This combination powers SafeSnap — trustless DAO governance where the Zodiac Reality Module executes on-chain transactions based on Snapshot vote outcomes, with Kleros as the final arbitrator.

How Kleros + Reality.eth Works

1

Question Posted

A question is posted to Reality.eth with a bounty and an arbitrator set to Kleros.
2

Bond Escalation

Answerers post increasingly large bonds to assert their answer. Each challenger must at least double the previous bond. This economic escalation filters out low-confidence answers.
3

Kleros Arbitration (if needed)

If the bond escalation reaches the arbitration threshold, the dispute is sent to Kleros Court. Jurors evaluate the question and provided answers, then vote on the correct outcome.
4

Answer Finalized

The winning answer whether determined by bond escalation or Kleros ruling becomes the final oracle output.

SafeSnap (DAO Governance)

The most prominent use of Reality.eth + Kleros is SafeSnap: it lets DAOs execute Snapshot vote outcomes directly against a Gnosis Safe treasury, with Reality.eth verifying the result and Kleros Court as the arbitration backstop — no trusted multisig in the loop. See the SafeSnap product page for its components, the end-to-end flow, and setup.

Use Cases

DAO Governance Execution: Execute Snapshot proposal outcomes on-chain with a dispute resolution safety net. Prediction Market Resolution: Settle market outcomes using crowdsourced answers with Kleros as the final backstop. Cross-Protocol Oracles: Provide verified data to smart contracts with economic guarantees and decentralized dispute resolution.
