New York University School of Law professors Max Raskin and Jack Millman published a research paper exploring the legalities surrounding the use of smart contracts for personal growth bets.

New York University School of Law professors Max Raskin and Jack Millman recently published a paper in thediscussing the legalities surrounding the use of blockchain-based smart contracts for the purpose of"personal growth bets."

However, without accountability, such incentives are less likely to work. In the case of quitting smoking, the researchers give the example of a person who places $10,000 in a smart contract that requires the user to remain smoke-free for 30 days in order to reobtain the funds. In the event of failure, the funds could, for example, be sent to a predefined charity of the user’s choice.
