Abstract
In light of accelerating technological innovation and shifts in dispute resolution paradigms, this article elucidates the transformative potential of blockchain technology and smart contracts in mediation. The paper posits that these advancements offer an innovative framework for dispute avoidance and a more efficient, transparent process for resolving conflicts, particularly in commercial settings. The article critically assesses the inherent challenges and argues that overcoming these obstacles necessitates a multi-stakeholder approach, encompassing legislative measures, educational initiatives, and technological enhancements. It ultimately contends that blockchain and smart contracts hold the capacity to significantly reshape the landscape of mediation.
