Smart contracts come under English and Welsh laws: UK Law Commission
The United Kingdom Law Commission came to the conclusion that smart contracts come under the English and Welsh laws. The firm, tasked with monitoring the laws and introducing reforms when and if needed, confirmed that no new reforms need to be introduced regarding these digital contracts.
Incremental development of common law
In their report, the UK Law Commission noted that there is no need to create additional laws pertaining to cryptocurrencies. However, the authority emphasizes the "incremental development of the common law."The Law Commission's analysis demonstrates the flexibility of the common law to accommodate technological developments, particularly in the context of digital legal contracts, said the report.
According to the Law Commission, the current legal framework is flexible enough to impose legal authority over technological innovations like smart contracts. However, there are certain risks that might develop in the future because the technology hasn't been fully discovered yet.
Therefore, the authorities will sit down with the Law Commission to figure out the possibilities of conflict with current legal infrastructure in the near future where smart contracts will be easier to draft, and the process of negotiation will be simpler.
Smart contracts
Smart contracts are blockchain-based digital contracts that only execute when a certain condition is met. Popular platforms using this technology include Solana and Cardano. Currently, these contracts are not legally binding in many countries. In 2017, Belarus became the first nation to legalize them.There are a number of nations that currently hold a speculative stance on blockchain-based assets as well as smart contracts. However, these digital contracts have the capability to reduce paperwork, and the workforce needs to process the paperwork. The rising popularity of platforms like Solana and Cardano hint at the rising usage of these contracts.
The report from UK Law Commission is another optimistic approach to the legalization of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
