A user may review the on-chain history and determine for themselves whether an Arbiter has behaved in a way that is reliable and accurate. Unless a user has a reason to trust an Arbiter, a user should avoid contracts with an arbiter that has a limited or questionable history. In the future iterations of the platform, Arbiter services will be incentivized by fees and a good reputation will be important. The historical behavior of the an assigned Arbiter may be reviewed in the 'Arbiter History' tab. ![](/files/-MiIfNX1qbFjTy6YeEEE) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
