But even continuous digitalization has its white spots, especially in such an innovative field as blockchain and cryptocurrencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As digital assets increasingly invade the global financial system, smart contracts remain &#171;terra incognito&#187; for the mass consumer. There are quite objective reasons for this, and one of the most important is the practical absence of legislative norms regulating their active use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a smart contract, its pros and cons<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A &#171;smart contract&#187; is understood as a type of transactions concluded in the form of an electronic contract. The main peculiarity of SC lies in the use of computer technology, specialized software and encryption mathematical algorithms. SC is being implemented with a distributed decentralized network infrastructure called a blockchain. It can be used by any person, natural or legal, who has access to the Internet, without requiring the use of intermediary structures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The principles of distribution and decentralization, which are fundamental for blockchain and smart contracts, are at the same time considered factors that significantly limit their ability to be in the traditional legal field. But this conflict still finds partial solutions. Unfortunately, this process cannot be formalized, so attempts to legislate the use of smart contracts are fragmented. Even in those countries where cryptocurrency, blockchain and related technologies are treated loyally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if we abstract from the legal aspects, the use of smart contracts in a variety of fields of activity has many undeniable advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">getting rid of the bureaucracy characteristic of classical contracts;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">absence of intermediaries, which significantly reduces the size of operating expenses;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smart contracts based on blockchain can be used regardless of the location of counterparties;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">if the smart contract algorithm is implemented without errors, its terms are interpreted exclusively unambiguously;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cryptographic encryption and the very nature of the blockchain make it impossible to change the terms of a smart contract after its placement in a distributed registry;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smart contracts guarantee the anonymity of counterparties and the ability to protect them from control by regulatory authorities at all levels.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It must be recognized that smart contracts, despite these advantages, cannot be called an ideal way to conclude and fulfill contractual obligations, and that&#8217;s why:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">if there is an error or inaccuracy in the logic of the &#171;smart contract&#187;, it is no longer possible to correct it after placing it in the blockchain. This imposes additional responsibility on the development team and requires thorough testing of the SC;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the anonymity of counterparties, on the one hand, is a boon, but on the other hand, it makes it almost impossible to identify him in case of fraudulent actions;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the lack of a legal framework creates difficulties with compensation of expenses and recovery of losses when using smart contracts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, if you were among the victims when using smart contracts, it may turn out that when contacting law enforcement agencies, you will be refused, since the contract was concluded without the participation of government agencies. Lawyers would say the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, in order for the use of the IC not to have negative consequences, their legal settlement is necessary. But, as noted above, at the moment there is no unified approach to solving this problem on a global scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General trends<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The peculiarity of smart contracts lies in the fact that although they are a kind of contractual obligations, in many countries of the world there is simply no appropriate legislative framework for them. In addition, SCs do not require the use of many formal procedures typical of traditional paper (and in some cases, oral) contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some international legal acts have clauses concerning the regulation of contractual legal relations concluded through the use of electronic messages. In particular, this is stated in the UN Convention regulating the Use of Electronic Communications, as well as in the UN Model Law on International Electronic Commerce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, these acts lack clearly defined requirements for smart contracts concerning such factors as unambiguous identification of counterparties, fixing the subject of the contract, price aspects, force majeure, liability of the parties, the quality of the goods\/services offered and other items usually prescribed in paper contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most countries have their own legal norms regarding the use of electronic contracts, but rarely where they are linked directly to smart contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s consider the existing regional practices of legal regulation of smart contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USA<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is in this country that cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies and smart contracts are treated with a proper understanding of their prospects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back in 2018, laws were passed here for the first time officially recognizing the UK (first in Arizona, then in other states). Thus, in Tennessee, the right to use smart contracts in the implementation of electronic digital transactions has been legislated, while such a contract must have legal\/enforceable force.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, all laws in the United States concerning the use of smart contracts can be divided into the following categories:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in a number of states (New Jersey, Texas, New York, California, etc.), in order to comprehensively study the legal aspects of smart contracts, committees are being created that are authorized to make the necessary changes to local legislation;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The states of Utah, Nevada, Oklahoma, Arkansas, South Dakota, Vermont, Maryland and Texas have already adopted laws concerning the partial integration of smart contracts into e-commerce;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, there is a tendency to fully consolidate the concept of SC in local legislation. So, in 2020, the Illinois senators passed legislation concerning the recognition of blockchain technology and its derivatives, including smart contracts. In accordance with this law, the IC cannot lose its legal force just because the distributed registry (blockchain) technology was involved in its creation and use. At the same time, a number of restrictions are imposed on the use of the blockchain itself. The article equating smart contracts to electronic records allows them to be used both within the state and for conducting foreign economic activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other countries<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Singapore, there is an Act on Electronic Transactions, in which there are no legal norms regarding the regulation of smart contracts directly, but they are equated with technologies based on blockchain, which has a full legal status here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is currently no single legal framework related to smart contracts in the European Union. The only EU document indirectly regulating the use of IC is Article 9 of the European Parliament Directive on E\u2013Commerce, which requires EU members to be able to conclude contracts using electronic means. Thus, all legal aspects in this niche should be resolved by the legislation of the EU member states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the state level, legislators in Spain and the UK understand the need for a legal settlement of smart contracts, but the matter has not yet gone beyond disputes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The approach of China is interesting, where there is an official ban on the circulation of some cryptocurrencies and ISO, but at the same time, some IT companies continue to explore the possibilities of using blockchain technology and smart contracts and their implementation in the legal field.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Russia<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The situation with the legal regulation of smart contracts is similar in the Russian Federation, where in 2019 the possibility of using smart contracts was legally fixed, and the term itself is not mentioned in the law. However, neither Article 309 nor Article 434 (paragraph 2) of the Civil Code says about any legal consequences of the application of such transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2020, an attempt was made to solve this problem. The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation has submitted a draft law providing for amendments to Part 4 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The document provides for the possibility of using standard ICS in terms of the safe disposal of rights regarding certain types of digital objects with automatic verification of the fulfillment of contractual conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2020 Federal Law regulating the circulation of digital currencies and other assets also does not contain the term &#171;smart contract&#187;, although it stipulates the indirect possibility of its use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consequently, the legislation of the Russian Federation is poorly adapted to the legal regulation of smart contracts, and any changes, both positive and negative, are possible in this aspect.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulties with the legal implementation of smart contracts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An electronic contract is a concept covered in sufficient detail in the legislation of many countries, but there are fundamental differences between it and a smart contract. The fact is that in its pure form, the IC embedded in the blockchain contains only the basic provisions of the type of object of contractual relations, the name of the smart contract, the cost of services \/ goods, deadlines, etc. A full-fledged electronic contract includes many clauses describing other aspects, especially legal ones (force majeure, non-fulfillment of obligations by one of the parties, etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, specialists in the field of law and IT technologies still have a lot of work to do in terms of finding consolidated ways to solve the problems described above regarding the use of smart contracts. Given the rapid development of blockchain-based technologies, including smart contracts, we can expect significant progress in this direction. At the same time, some aspects are quite difficult to bring into line with generally accepted legal norms. For example, reliable identification of the counterparty. Some crypto exchanges are taking steps in this direction, but at the expense of losing one of the main advantages of using blockchain technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, some types of smart contracts do not need much legal regulation. For example, if we are talking about trading NFT assets, where copyright protection is implemented through blockchain technology, and it turned out to be an order of magnitude more reliable than in the world of traditional art. By buying\/selling digital works of art on our<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.team\/nft\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NFT marketplace<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you are guaranteed to protect yourself from any copyright claims without using expensive lawyer services.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pace of the introduction of IT technologies into everyday life is so high that even now it seems to many of us that a power outage for at least a day would be a real disaster, a leap into the Stone Age.
