A Fraudulent Contract is an agreement that is rendered void or voidable due to deception, misrepresentation, or coercion involved in its formation. Such contracts are legally invalid because one or more parties were misled or pressured into consenting. In the digital asset space, fraudulent contracts can manifest in various schemes, including deceptive investment agreements or phishing attempts designed to illicitly acquire private keys or funds. Their existence undermines trust and poses significant risks to participants.
