Resolve Dispute

Resolve an open dispute and distribute the funds, signed by a dispute resolver.

Builds the unsigned transaction where a dispute resolver (roles.disputeResolvers) settles an open dispute by distributing the escrowed funds between the parties.

The reference below is generated from the live API spec — if anything on this page disagrees with it, the reference wins.

Endpoint

Resolve an open dispute and distribute the funds

post

The sum of distributions MUST equal the escrow balance — otherwise the contract rejects with DistributionsMustEqualEscrowBalance.

Responses

200

Unsigned XDR built successfully.

application/json

unsignedXdrstringRequired

Base64-encoded unsigned XDR. Sign it with the appropriate wallet and submit to Soroban / Horizon to execute the operation on-chain.

Example: AAAAAgAAAAAtWsgedQ...AAAAAQAAAAA=

txHashstringRequired

SHA-256 hash of the prepared transaction. NOTE: it only matches the executed transaction if you sign the XDR exactly as returned — re-preparing (re-simulating) it changes the hash. Prefer contractId for correlation when present.

Example: b1946ac92492d2347c6235b4d2611184a8d53f7a8e6e9b4f0c79a2b30e5c4f3a

contractIdobject · nullableOptional

Deploys only: the address (C…) the new escrow contract WILL have once this transaction executes — known upfront because the service generates the deploy salt. Track your escrow with it (e.g. GET /escrows/:contractId) as soon as the transaction lands; it is stable even if your wallet/SDK re-prepares the transaction.

Example: CAAQCAIBAEAQCAIBAEAQCAIBAEAQCAIBAEAQCAIBAEAQCAIBAEAQC526

Field notes

• The escrow must actually be in dispute — resolving an undisputed escrow is rejected by the contract.

• The distribution must account for the escrow's available balance; amounts are in human token units and fees are settled on-chain during the resolution.

What this endpoint returns

unsignedXdr + txHash — sign the XDR exactly as returned and submit it via Send Transaction. Full flow example on the Deploy page.
