The traditional financial system has the ability to facilitate forensic investigations into crimes relating to financial fraud. The same cannot be said about the blockchain-based financial system that has come to exist over the past few years. This financial system does not tolerate third parties impeding transactions and so presents the problem of not

Smart Contract Microservitization
2020 IEEE 44th Annual Computers, Software, and Applications Conference (COMPSAC), 2020A smart contract is a computable protocol that automatically enforces contract terms in a computer, transforming real-world contract terms into digital promises of the virtual world. Early smart contracts have been stuck in the theoretical phase due to the lack of a credible execution environment and the means to control digital assets.

The abilities of smart contracts today are confined to reading from their own state. It is useful for a smart contract to be able to react to events and read the state of other smart contracts. In this paper, we devise a mechanism by which a derivative smart contract can read data, observe the state evolution, and react to events that take place in one

European Review of Private Law, 2018
Abstract: The computer language (computer code) on the basis of which smart contracts are written is different from the natural (Human) language. Computer language is a ‘dry’ language, whereas natural language is ‘wet’. In other words, it means that computer language is deterministic (just one meaning and one result are conceivable), when natural ...

Smart (Legal) Contracts, or: Which (Contract) Law for Smart Contracts?
2020The law applicable to smart contracts is a neglected topic. At times it is even discarded as irrelevant or unnecessary. In fact, many authors claim that smart contracts especially when stored and executed with the help of blockchain technology make contract law and, in fact, the entire legal system obsolete.

Computer Law & Security Review, 2018ABSTRACT The functioning of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin ultimately depends on participants’ agreements to selectively disclose or conceal information. Various arguments suggest that those agreements amount to a large multilateral contract to which all participants are parties.

Fun with Bitcoin Smart Contracts
2018Besides simple transfers of currency, Bitcoin also enables various forms of smart contracts, i.e. protocols where users interact within pre-agreed rules, which determine (possibly depending on the actual interaction) how currency is eventually distributed.
