Smart Contracts are a tangible expression of the term 'Code is Law'. By coding prerequisite conditions into an algorithmic contract, one can essentially create a self-executing contract, eliminating the need for a middleman and automating the process of trust.

It is a common feature of blockchain and cryptocurrency protocols.
