Automated Enforcement is the execution of predefined rules or contractual obligations without human intervention, typically through software or decentralized protocols. This mechanism ensures that conditions are met and actions are performed automatically upon the occurrence of specified events. Automated enforcement enhances reliability and removes the need for intermediaries in many digital asset transactions. It relies on the deterministic nature of underlying code to uphold commitments.
Context
The application of automated enforcement in blockchain technology, especially via smart contracts, generates considerable discussion regarding its precision and immutability. While offering efficiency and transparency, questions persist about recourse in cases of code errors or unforeseen circumstances. Future progress will concentrate on developing more robust and auditable smart contract languages and dispute resolution mechanisms compatible with autonomous execution.
A hybrid protocol integrates zero-knowledge proofs and secure computation to enable confidential, computationally verifiable, and legally enforceable smart contracts.
