New York University School of Law professors Max Raskin and Jack Millman recently published a paper in the Journal on Emerging Technologies discussing the legalities surrounding the use of blockchain-based smart contracts for the purpose of “personal growth bets.”

According to the duo, personal growth bets are single-party contracts that people would engage in with themselves. The purpose of these contracts would generally be for the purpose of self-improvement — to either start or stop a certain act during a given period of time or by a certain date.
