Expectancy Damages, within the legal and financial frameworks of crypto contracts, refer to the monetary compensation awarded to a non-breaching party to place them in the financial position they would have occupied had the contract been performed as agreed. This concept applies to agreements involving digital assets, such as smart contracts, loan agreements, or OTC trading confirmations. Its purpose is to provide the aggrieved party with the expected economic benefit from the crypto transaction, not merely to restore their initial position.
Mechanism
The mechanism for calculating expectancy damages involves a counterfactual analysis, comparing the actual financial state after a contract breach with the projected financial state if the crypto contract had been fulfilled. This requires valuation models for digital assets, considering factors like market price volatility, liquidity, and potential future gains from staking or yield farming that were part of the agreement. Evidence typically includes transaction logs, market data feeds, and expert appraisals of asset performance under specified conditions.
Methodology
The methodology relies on established contract law principles adapted for the specificities of digital asset markets, including the application of efficient market hypothesis for asset valuation where appropriate. It requires rigorous proof of causation and foreseeability regarding the losses incurred due to the breach, often accounting for network congestion costs or oracle data discrepancies. This approach aims to ensure that remedies are precise and reflect the true economic injury in a crypto investment context, rather than providing speculative windfalls.
