SMART CONTRACTS E TECNOLOGIE BASATE SU REGISTRI DISTRIBUITI NELLA L. 12/2019

Abstract

The essay addresses the issue of the regulation of smart contracts and technologies based on distributed ledgers, as regulated by the national law 12/2019. It highlights some critical issues related to the formulation and understanding of these concepts, definitely relevant for scholars but, at the same time, very complex in their understanding, giving the multidisciplinary implications they are related to. Finally, the essay addresses the two different approaches in the matter, the European and the national one, and underlines the necessity of a more uniform perspective, also in consideration of the missing guidelines by the Agenzia per l’Italia digitale (AgID).
