Ricardian Clauses ​

Ricardian clauses are reusable pieces of human-readable contract language that help document common meanings, conditions, and obligations across actions.

Why Use Clauses ​

  • reduce duplication across actions
  • keep legal or user-facing language consistent
  • make contract documentation easier to maintain

WAX Builder Guidance ​

Use clauses to document repeated terms, but keep them aligned with how the contract actually behaves. They should clarify the contract, not drift away from implementation.
