Hello BHW,
We, the escrow service on BHW, invite you all to participate in beta testing our new User-Selected Arbitration feature that we recently released.
We are launching a four-week beta testing campaign, during which we require 5 users each week. This means we have a total of only 20 spots available for participation.
What will you test?
You will test the role of the agent (arbitrator) in a disputed escrow contract.
You will need to go through the contract details and the chat log to collect evidence and arbitrate the dispute. You can message the buyer or seller for additional information if needed.
*testers will be provided with the funds necessary to cover the gas fees associated with the agent actions.
Reward
Due to the complex steps involved in testing our system, we offer a small reward to partially compensate for your time and effort. The reward ($15) will be paid in BTC, LTC, or ZENF after the participants have completed testing.
How to apply?
If interested, post "I'm interested" in this thread with your wallet address for payment. BTC address for BTC, LTC address for LTC, and ETH address for ZENF.
*if you choose ZENF, also specify the chain you want. ZENF is available on Ethereum or Binance.
How does the testing process work? (steps to do if you are accepted)
Step 1. Log in to Zenland App using a new Metamask address* and post the address on this thread.
Step 2. Wait before we assign you as an agent and invite you to a disputed escrow contract. You'll receive a PM when you're invited.
Step 3. Go back to the Zenland App, and find the contract you’re invited to. Proceed to collecting evidence and arbitrating the case.
Step 4. Come back to this thread and post your feedback on your experience.
*using a new Metamask address is highly recommended because addresses used in the campaign will be blocked on Zenland and cannot be used in the future.
Tips for arbitrating a case
1. Review the contract details thoroughly. Look for inconsistencies in the contract creation date, due date, and buyer protection time.
2. Inspect the chat between the buyer and seller. Sometimes it is easy to catch unfairness by how people construct what they say.
3. Pay attention to the sequence of events in the contract log. Unfairness might be evident if the buyer's actions seem rushed or if the seller delays crucial steps without valid reasons.
4. Study the reputation data of both parties involved which you can find on their profile page.
5. If necessary, communicate with the buyer or seller through the contract chat page to gather extra evidence. Uncooperative behavior, aggression, or refusal to provide essential information could hint at unfairness or victimization.
6. Make your arbitration decision by considering the actions and evidence. Aim for a fair split* that reflects the level of wrongdoing or compliance with the contract terms by each party.
*depending on the effort put in and the time spent to arbitrate the case, agents can set their fee at 1 to 3% of the contract price, a.i. the agreed amount.
Special notice to testers
Zenland supports 4 major EVM-compatible networks. Since we want to beta-test them all, testers will be randomly selected for different networks.
Make your feedback detailed and on point. Express an original opinion, not based on other reports. Screenshots are appreciated if you encounter a technical bug.
There is no fixed turnaround time for running and submitting your reports, however, we expect it to be done within 5 days after we have accepted your application.
We reserve the right to selectively choose participants for our beta testing program. Please note that if your application is not accepted, we will not provide individual explanations for our decision.
