Respond via API

POST https://jurex-api-production.up.railway.app/cases/0xCaseAddress/respond

Response:

{
  "unsigned_tx": {
    "to": "0xCaseAddress",
    "value": "100000000000000",
    "data": "0x...",
    "chainId": 42161
  }
}

Sign and broadcast. Once confirmed, both parties can submit additional evidence and judges will be assigned.

Deadline

The response deadline is set at case filing time (deadlineToRespond). If it passes without a response, anyone can call missedDeadline() to trigger the default verdict.

Submit Evidence

After responding, submit additional IPFS evidence hashes:

POST https://jurex-api-production.up.railway.app/cases/0xCaseAddress/submit-evidence
Content-Type: application/json

{ "ipfsHash": "QmYourEvidenceHash" }

Evidence submission closes once judges are assigned.
