*4.3.5 The power of the arbitral tribunal*

Once the arbitral tribunal is formed, the tribunal has absolute authority over what procedure to adopt; the only restriction is that the tribunal must be sure the procedure is fair. The Rules allow for totally or partially off-chain arbitration as the tribunal sees fit.

The "off-chain" arbitration means that the dispute is to be resolved in a classic dispute resolution mechanism. As such, the arbitrator is given a private key to access the blockchain data, examine the evidence (documentary or oral hearings) and make decisions in the usual manner. It should be noted that the interplay of on-chain and off-chain arbitration requires the service of oracles, and the parties must allow for making such arrangements.
