Blockchain and the Law: Australia is an essential book for practitioners and students looking to understand the interaction between blockchain technology and the law. The authors have taken a systemic approach in dividing this book into two sections. Firstly, the book provides the reader with an introduction to blockchain technology, including an explanation of blockchain and distributed ledger technology, smart contracts, non-fungible tokens and decentralised autonomous organisations.
The second part of the book examines and explores specific legal practice areas and how blockchain technology is or may be covered under existing legal regimes, including summaries of case law.
