What Is ‘Code Is Law’ in the Context of Smart Contracts?

'Code is law' refers to the principle that the terms and logic encoded in a smart contract are the ultimate authority for the agreement's execution. The code dictates the outcome, superseding external legal systems or human interpretation.

This creates a self-enforcing environment where the contract executes precisely as programmed, fostering trust through mathematical certainty.
