Introducing the Deconet Software License Agreement

A custom legal license for blockchain transactions

Deconet is building infrastructure for distributed organizations to commercialize software. We’re creating a future where developers build wealth fairly, sustainably, and on their own time.

That’s why our beta app is a decentralized marketplace for APIs and software licenses on the blockchain (you can read more about why software licenses belong on the blockchain here).

What’s the DSLA?

We designed the Deconet Software License Agreement (DSLA) as a custom license agreement with our developers’ interests at heart.

When you list a software license for sale on our marketplace and someone purchases it using BTC or ETH, the transaction information is recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. The transaction also records the parties involved, the time of the purchase, and the duration for which the agreement is valid.

The DSLA references the blockchain transaction, and the blockchain transaction references the DSLA.

In this way, the DSLA bridges on-chain transactions with our legal system, ensuring that the terms for a software license purchase on our marketplace have standing in court.
