Trust in Smart Contracts is a Process, As Well

چکیده
Distributed ledger technologies are rising in popularity, mainly for the host of financial applications they potentially enable, through smart contracts. Several implementations of distributed ledgers have been proposed, and different languages for the development of smart contracts have been suggested. A great deal of attention is given to the practice of development, i.e. programming, of smart contracts. In this position paper, we argue that more attention should be given to the “traditional developers” of contracts, namely the lawyers, and we propose a list of requirements for a human and machine-readable contract authoring language, friendly to lawyers, serving as a common (and a specification) language, for programmers, and the parties to a contract.

متن کاملRethinking Permissioned Blockchains
Current blockchain platforms, especially the recent permissioned systems, have architectural limitations: smart contracts run sequentially, all node executes all smart contracts, consensus protocols are hard-coded, the trust model is static and not flexible, and non-determinism in smart-contract execution poses serious problems. Overcoming these limitations is critical for improving both functi...
متن کاملSmartDEMAP: A Smart Contract Deployment and Management Platform
Smart contracts on a blockchain behave exactly as specified by their code. To be sure that a smart contract behaves as expected, the end-user has to either analyze its code or trust a potentially anonymous developer or auditor to do so. This approach proposes a smart contract deployment and management platform that can execute development tools and code quality tools in a trusted way and uses t...
