Definition ∞ Digital legal agreements are contracts or accords formalized and executed using electronic means, often incorporating cryptographic signatures or blockchain technology for verification. These agreements establish rights and obligations between parties in a digital format. They aim to provide efficient, secure, and verifiable contractual relationships.
Context ∞ The increasing adoption of digital legal agreements is transforming how transactions and partnerships are established in the digital asset domain. Smart contracts, as a subset, enable self-executing and tamper-proof agreements on a blockchain, removing the need for intermediaries. Key considerations include legal enforceability across jurisdictions and the integration of these digital instruments with traditional legal frameworks.
