This will never be unbreakable because no complex system is unbreakable.
The reason contracts are messy is because they're a system that has vulnerabilities. Lawyers are just hackers with different tools and training.
So moving to another system, equally complex or dynamic, will not solve anything in the long run.
A system that must support contracts between humans would be dynamic enough to allow for vulnerabilities that will eventually be discovered.
In fact I find it laughable that these guys are trying to replace a legal system with a computer system. When computer systems get hacked all the time.

They will then be taken advantage of. So pretty much the same as the current legal and financial system.

- crucialfelix 11y agoPeople do exactly that all the time.
