Abstract

This White Paper assumes the reader will be broadly familiar with smart contracts and distributed ledger technologies. It accordingly provides only a high level summary of both (including permissioned and permissionless systems), before moving on to consider the spectrum of possibilities of what a smart contract could constitute. It then considers whether a smart contract can constitute a legally binding contract under the law of a number key contracting jurisdictions. Finally, it offers up some observations about the practicalities of enforceability and provides some suggestions for dispute resolution within a smart contract context.
