More specifically - can decentralized justice/dispute resolution exist without blockchain technology, or would that just be Online Dispute Resolution? Kleros brings interesting insights to decentralized arbitration. It is built on Ethereum and handles smart contract disputes. However, can a platform such as Kleros, with its use of crowdsourcing and game theoretic incentives, work without blockchain but still be decentralized?

Yes, decentralization can exist without the support of a blockchain. If you are an old school computer user, you must have used torrents to download movies and games. That's one prime example of a decentralized network existed long before blockchain came into existence. I don't know how Kleros works, but it can certainly exist without a blockchain and still remain decentralized without an authority figure.

Or is my understanding on decentralization flawed?
