**Affirmed position.** 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-08-08
