Abstract

Blockchain is a disruptive technology whose impact are broadly diffused within the international community and national societies. According to some scholars, blockchain technology will soon substitute or compete with the law of sovereign states. Within the said framework, our chapter aims to scrutinize whether and how blockchain technology can truly democratize relationship for private users. Reference will be made to the new blockchain-based platforms, such as the CmaaS, and the case of smart contracts. The end is to understand if the said tools, will contribute exercising contractual freedom and also managing democratic processes within the blockchain.
