Abstract
Embodiments described herein are configured to generate a smart contract deployed to a distributed ledger platform. In particular, a first party and a second party select a smart contract template and a user interface user interface is thereafter presented to the parties for inclusion of negotiable contract elements. Upon agreement, a smart contract is thereafter generated by augmenting smart contract template programming code to include the included contract elements, and the code is compiled and deployed to a smart contract platform such as, for example, a blockchain. Embodiments include meta-instructions in the smart contract programming code that at least in part determines how the specified contract elements are included in the smart contract programming code. In embodiments, the meta-instructions are embedded in comments in the smart contract programming code.
