Research on Legal Issues of Smart Contract Architecture

Abstract

In the context of economic globalization and rapid internet development, emerging digital technologies such as cloud computing, big data, and AI are revolutionizing industry production and sales. Smart Contracts, particularly empowered by blockchain advancements, present promising prospects. However, traditional contracts remain dominant in economic activities, especially in China’s vast SME market, where risks of real world transaction instability hinder smart contract adoption. Technical vulnerabilities and ecological security issues in smart contract platforms pose challenges in translating legal language into code. Despite progress in natural language processing, translating legal documents accurately remains difficult, burdening judges and programmers with time costs. Therefore, research on smart contract architecture and legal applications, along with practical solutions, is imperative for both theoretical and practical advancements.
