agreementsand
Agreementsand is a conceptual framework for representing, composing, and enforcing multi-party agreements through modular, granular components. The term blends agreement and sand to suggest that a contract can be built from small, interchangeable units that fit together to form more complex arrangements.
Definition and core concepts: Agreementsand uses a library of clause modules, each encoding a discrete obligation,
Key features and benefits: composability, provenance, verifiability, modular upgradeability, and governance rules that facilitate enforcement without
Applications: in smart contracts, interorganizational governance, supply chains, and regulatory-compliance workflows. It supports decentralized environments where
Limitations and challenges: managing complexity as the number of modules grows, ensuring module compatibility, avoiding granularity
History and impact: the concept draws on modular-contract theory and sandbox-inspired design principles from the early
