How Does Immutability Affect Dispute Resolution in a DeFi Contract?

Immutability means the contract's logic cannot be altered, making traditional dispute resolution (where a judge reinterprets terms) impossible. Resolution must be coded into the contract itself, often involving decentralized arbitration mechanisms.

If the contract is flawed or the oracle is wrong, the automatic execution is final unless a specific kill switch is coded.
