Verity Protocol
Registry mechanics

Disputes

Any wallet other than the registrant can dispute a listing. A dispute is a signed message explaining why the listing appears inaccurate, fraudulent, duplicated, or otherwise contested. Verity does not adjudicate — disputes are recorded, made public, and weigh significantly against the registrant's reputation.

Listings with any dispute display a “Contested · N” badge. Disputes require a minimum of 8 characters of explanation to discourage drive-by flags.

Disputes don't remove listings

A dispute does not remove a listing. The signed record remains public, and the registrant can respond via status updates.
