Once a dispute is created, a time period of seven days is allowed to submit evidence that will later be reviewed by guardians. During this period, the dispute creator can also decide to close the evidence submission at any point in time. Evidence can be submitted in text format but HTTP and IPFS links are also accepted.

After the evidence period is over, the first adjudication round is initiated and the Summon guardians period begins. The only task required during this period is to click on the Summon guardians button in the dispute page. Anybody can execute this task and receive a DAI reward proportional to the number of guardians being drafted.

💡 Your chances of being drafted as a guardian are directly proportional to your active amount of tokens.

The voting period is critical for a drafted guardian. What you must do within the allocated time is first to review the evidence, then to try anticipating what the voting decision of the plurality of guardians will be.

💡 Failing to cast a vote will result in your locked tokens getting slashed and redistributed to the winning guardians after the final ruling - so make sure to commit and reveal your vote in the allotted time periods.

After the voting period has ended, guardians will have two days to reveal their vote.If you enabled the Auto-reveal service, there is no action required from you at this stage. Otherwise, simply click on the Reveal your vote button.

Your one-time code shouldn't be necessary unless a problem occurred within the court, but if it is needed, you'll be prompted to retrieve it from the safe place you stored it and enter it into the guardian app.

Now that the votes are revealed, you can see whether you voted with the plurality or not. But before the ruling can be executed, an appeal period is started during which any user can lock DAI as collateral to propose an appeal.
