Agreement: Digitization of Transaction Terms within TCE: Strong Smart Contract as a New Mode of Transaction Governance

Record: kaal:position:2026-08-08-220 · 2026-08-08

Digitization of Transaction Terms within TCE defines strong smart contracts as agreements with automatic execution and enforcement that are not reversible by courts. This independently supports the limited-legal-recourse mechanism in Kaal's claim. The retained proposition does not establish the frequency or consequences of failed execution.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
