<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the implementation of smart contracts in digital business practices and to assess their legal certainty from a civil law perspective.

Therefore, stronger regulatory frameworks and hybrid contract models are necessary to ensure legal certainty for smart contracts in Indonesia.]]>
