Ricardian Contracts
Ricardian contracts provide human-readable terms that sit alongside contract actions. They help explain what an action is meant to do and what parties are agreeing to when they use it.
Why They Matter
- they improve clarity for users and auditors
- they document action intent alongside contract code
- they help separate technical execution from human-readable meaning
WAX Context
On WAX, Ricardian material is part of a contract-development workflow rather than a standalone documentation concern. Builders should treat it as part of contract quality, not as an afterthought.
