Abstract

In view of the globalization and technological development scenario, which makes negotiation risks more complex, smart contracts are developed in contemporary society. What makes this kind of contract unique is that the transaction can be realized through computational protocols that do not require the use of traditional legal language. Despite this distinction, smart contracts are, technically speaking, contracts, as they are subject to the legal requirements of existence, validity, and effectiveness of bilateral transactions. Besides, smart contracts can take the form of a typical or an atypical contract and can also be celebrated both by adhesion and through negotiation of its terms. From a practical point of view, smart contracts emerge as alternatives of managing contractual risks, thanks to their self-execution characteristic. Such attribute stems from the computational language, guided by the premise “if this then that”, in which the contracts are inserted. This allows the consequences, previously stipulated in the program, to be triggered automatically if/when the corresponding factual support is verified. Through smart contracts, parties can realize both positive and negative allocation of contractual risks through: (i) insertion of express clauses (for the former purpose); and (ii) celebration of an incomplete contract (for the latter one).
