You're In Business

Jurat (JTC) presents a legally innovative concept (Layer 1 blockchain with court-embedded enforcement) backed by a reputable law firm and prior media coverage (Fox Business). However, the project appears to have failed to gain meaningful adoption since its 2022-2024 launch window, with current market data showing negligible volume and capitalization (<$25k). The submission itself was of very poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and missing critical data points, which significantly penalized the final score.

Description

Jurat (or JTC) is a consumer protection version of Bitcoin that provides additional transaction versatility under the auspices of a court. When you transact in JTC, you can recover your funds in the event of fraud or mistake, similarly to using a credit card.\n\nJurat Escrow Wrappers let you safely escrow coins without a custodian. The coins stay put until both parties agree and, if they cannot agree, the court takes over to decide everyone’s legal rights. The best part is that no one has to give up their private key.
