Blockchain E Smart Contracts: Considerações Acerca Da (In)Regulação Dessas Tecnologias No Ordenamento Jurídico Brasileiro

Abstract

Blockchain is a newly arrived, online, global, publicly available technology, a distributed ledger based on consensus between members, which innovates in the area of data security and transparency without third intervention. The smart contracts that have existed since the soda machines, when inserted into this distributed data record, elevate the ability to confer large amounts of data to an instant status. As it does not have any specific legislation on the subject, legal implications and violations of rights have started to affect the relationships between users who need state protection, in which it becomes removed from their role with the existing regulations. For the research, the exploratory method was used, through the qualitative data survey. New technologies continue to be a big challenge for Law, which seeks to bring the support of the state for these increasingly autonomous innovations without prejudice their way of functioning and without becoming obsolete, opting for transnational regulations or dealing only with general aspects.
