🚨 BREAKING: The final version of the new EU Data Act rules largely dismisses the blockchain industry's concerns, potentially making many smart contracts unlawful! 😲 Key points:

- The text still broadly refers to "smart contracts," rather than "digital contracts," as requested by the industry

- The law's scope does not refer to private or permissioned networks

- The text imposes duties on vendors of automated programs, which could result in "perpetual and limitless responsibility"
