In depth
Dispute parity ensures that if an agent settles via blockchain vs. TCK, it has identical recourse if something goes wrong. Without parity, agents would cluster on one protocol because it offers better dispute resolution. Parity requires standardized arbitration (VCAP-based automated appeals), consistent evidence standards, and appeal rights across all settlement layers. This prevents walled gardens.
