Introduction
摘要
While blockchain, by design, ought to promote transparency, equality, and non-discrimination, it can also be used to evade essential obligations imposed by traditional law, thus threatening the rule of law framework upon which the conventional legal systems are grounded. This raises questions about the legitimacy, accountability, and contestability of blockchain-based mechanisms, especially since blockchain-based technological artifacts are being increasingly employed for democratic e-governance, delivery of public services, and humanitarian activities.
