Justice on Chain
1. The Problem — €35–120 billion lost every year
Every year, tens of billions of euros in rightful compensation are lost because European consumers don’t file complaints. ECC-Net handled 134,000 complaints in 2024 and contributed to just €8 million in recoveries — barely the tip of the iceberg.
Eurobarometer 2024 shows that 70–80% of Europeans with legitimate claims never complain. The reasons are simple: the amount seems too small, the process too complex, and the risk too great.
The result? Large corporations keep money they have no right to — year after year.
2. The Solution — ClaimShare: Europe’s Complaint Bank
ClaimShare is the first blockchain platform that makes it possible to aggregate, fund and win collective consumer claims across the entire EU/EEA — without the claimant paying anything upfront.
How it works:
- Register your complaint in 5–10 minutes
- Get automatically matched with thousands of similar claims
- Professional lawyers and litigation funds take the case forward
- You get paid when the case is won — no risk to you
3. Diesel Endgame — Our first major case
Most people know about the Dieselgate scandal from 2015, when Volkswagen was caught cheating emissions tests on 11 million vehicles. But the problem turned out to be much larger.
| Dieselgate (2015) | Diesel Endgame (2025+) | |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | EA189 | All diesel Euro 5/6 |
| Manufacturer | VW Group | All European brands |
| Vehicles | ~11 million | more than 53 million (ICCT 2023) |
| Compensation potential | ~€30 billion | €175–350 billion |

4. Bilklager.no — 13 years of operational experience
ClaimShare is built on the technology and experience of Bilklager.no, Norway’s largest consumer complaint platform, operating since 2013.
What we bring from Bilklager.no:
- Technology: Full-stack platform with automated case management, API integrations and GDPR compliance
- Case portfolio: Active cases with 14,521 participants
- Participant base: 14,521 verified participants — ready for ClaimShare conversion
- Experience: Operational knowledge from 13 years of running consumer litigation
5. Fee structure — The claimant gets 65%
ClaimShare operates with a transparent fee structure:
| Priority | Recipient | Share | Example (€2,500) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The claimant | 65% | €1,625 |
| 2 | Platform fee | 5% | €125 |
| 3 | Lawyers, LF, sponsors | 30% | €750 |
Platform fee (5%) is distributed as follows:
- 2.5% Buyback & Burn: Tokens are bought back and burned — benefiting all holders
- 0–1.25% Dev & Ops: Audited operational costs
- 1.25–2.5% Staking Rewards: Paid ONLY to those who actively stake CLAIM
6. Two-Tier Staking
Staking lets you lock CLAIM tokens in a smart contract to receive a share of platform revenue when cases are won. ClaimShare introduces a two-tier system:
Platform Staking
What it is: You get exposure to all cases ClaimShare takes — Diesel Endgame, 4×4 FORWARD, and future cases.
Weights: 0.50× → 1.50× over 25 months
Governance: Vote on new cases and Dev & Ops
Best for: Long-term investors seeking diversification
Case Staking
What it is: You stake on one specific case (e.g. Diesel Endgame). Higher potential rewards, but only from that one case.
Weights: 0.75× → 2.25× over 15 months
Governance: Vote on lawyers, LF and costs
Best for: Those with strong conviction in a specific case
CRITICAL: Understand this before staking
Unstaking is free — no lock-up period.
BUT: When you unstake, you lose your right to future rewards from that pool — not just your weight, but your entire eligibility.
Rewards are only paid to tokens that are staked at the time a case is won.
Re-staking starts completely from scratch — both weight and eligibility.
What about passive holders?
You don’t need to stake to benefit from CLAIM. All token holders benefit from the burning mechanism (2.5% of all settlements), which reduces total supply over time. But direct staking rewards go only to those who actively stake.
7. Why Base — not Solana
We chose Base (Coinbase L2) deliberately:
- Institutional trust: Professional litigation funds accept Base
- Wide adoption: 450 million Europeans already have MetaMask/WalletConnect
- Low costs: Gas under $0.01 per transaction
- Stability: No downtime (unlike certain other chains)
- Easy onramp: Coinbase fiat onramp — buy with card directly
8. CLAIM — Utility token
Total supply: 1,000,000,000 (fixed, no inflation)
Utility:
- Early access: CLAIM holders register first for new cases
- Governance: Platform stakers vote on new cases and Dev & Ops; Case stakers vote on lawyers, LF and costs
- Staking: Choose Platform (all cases) or Case (single case) staking with progressive weights
- Burning: 2.5% of platform fees are used for token burning
