A new documentary, 'Code Is Law', delves into the conflict between the immutable nature of blockchain technology and the demands for legal accountability. The film uses notable case studies, including The DAO hack, Indexed Finance, and Mango Markets, to illustrate how courts have often rejected the 'code is law' principle, opting instead for traditional legal frameworks. This shift is evident in the prosecution of exploiters and the changing role of white-hat hackers in the security landscape of decentralized finance (DeFi).
