Smart contracts are digital contracts that are stored on a blockchain and can be automatically executed when certain conditions are met.

While they have many potential benefits, there are also some legal challenges associated with their use. One of the main legal issues with smart contracts is the question of whether or not they are enforceable under traditional contract law.

Additionally, there are questions about how to handle disputes that arise from the execution of a smart contract, as well as issues around the regulation of smart contracts.

Some legal experts argue that smart contracts should be treated as self-executing legal agreements, while others believe that they should be considered as computer code.
