Sources — Smart Contract Liability Reference

Primary documents supporting structural responsibility attribution in smart contract execution environments.

This reference is grounded in internationally recognized protocol standards, identity frameworks, and formal analyses of deterministic execution systems.

Sources are selected based on their relevance to execution logic, authorization, and system-level attribution — not legal interpretation.
