General Questions
CryptoContract is a platform that transforms your blockchain transactions into legally valid, notary-ready contracts. By entering your transaction hash (from Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Polygon, and more), our system automatically fetches the transaction details and generates a professional legal document.
- Paste your transaction hash into our generator.
- Select a template (e.g., Vehicle Purchase, Real Estate, Service Agreement, Basic Contract) or create a custom contract.
- Review and customize the contract details.
- Download your contract in PDF, DOCX, PNG, or JPEG format.
- Optionally, bring the document to a notary for official recognition.
Not at all! Our platform is designed for everyone. Simply paste your transaction hash (which you can copy from any blockchain explorer), and we automatically fetch all transaction details. Then choose a template, review the pre-filled information, and download. The entire process takes less than 2 minutes, even for first-time users.
- Individuals selling or buying goods/services with crypto.
- Freelancers & consultants who get paid in crypto and want official documentation.
- Businesses that use crypto for transactions with clients or suppliers.
- Anyone needing official proof of a blockchain-based transaction.
While blockchain transactions are immutable, they don't include important legal details like terms of service, warranties, delivery conditions, or dispute resolution procedures. A formal contract provides legal protection, clarifies expectations between parties, and is required for tax purposes, insurance claims, and notarization. It transforms a simple payment into a legally binding agreement.
Absolutely! Our templates are suitable for both personal and business use. The Service Agreement template is particularly popular with freelancers and service providers. For businesses with higher volume needs, our Lifetime plan offers unlimited contracts and API access for integration into your workflow.
The entire process takes less than 2 minutes from entering your transaction hash to downloading your contract. Our platform automatically fetches all blockchain data, so you just need to review and download. No waiting, no delays.
Legal & Notary
Yes, absolutely. Our contracts are designed to comply with legal standards and are notary-ready. They include all essential clauses required for legal validity, including proper identification of parties, transaction details, payment terms, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Many of our users have successfully used these contracts with notaries without requiring modifications.
Yes, absolutely. Notarization adds formal legal weight and official recognition to your contract, making your agreements enforceable in traditional legal systems. A notarized contract is considered strong evidence in court and is widely accepted by authorities, financial institutions, and legal entities.
However, the enforceability also depends on the contract terms themselves being legally valid. Notarization verifies the parties' identities and signatures—it doesn't guarantee that all contract terms will be enforceable if they violate local laws.
While blockchain transactions are immutable and provide cryptographic proof, they don't include important legal details like terms of service, warranties, delivery conditions, dispute resolution, or party obligations. A notarized contract provides:
- Legal recognition in traditional court systems
- Official documentation for tax and compliance purposes
- Protection against disputes and misunderstandings
- Acceptance by banks, insurance companies, and authorities
For high-value transactions, business deals, or when dealing with traditional institutions, notarization is highly recommended.
Most notaries will accept cryptocurrency-related contracts, but it's essential to call ahead and confirm. Some notaries may:
- Have specific requirements or additional documentation needs
- Charge higher fees for crypto-related documents
- Require additional explanations or declarations
- Have restrictions based on local regulations
If one notary declines, don't be discouraged—try another. Many notaries are becoming more familiar with cryptocurrency transactions and are willing to help.
It depends on your jurisdiction. Many countries and states now accept:
- Remote notarization: Video call-based notarization is legal in many jurisdictions (especially after COVID-19)
- Digital signatures: Electronic signatures are widely accepted, but requirements vary
- E-notarization: Some jurisdictions allow fully digital notarization processes
Always verify local rules. Remote notarization can be more convenient, especially for international transactions, but not all jurisdictions accept it. Check with your local notary or legal authority.
Notary fees vary significantly by location, complexity, and the notary's policies:
- Simple contracts: €20-50 per signature
- Complex or multi-party contracts: €50-100+
- Crypto-related documents: May incur additional fees (€10-30 extra)
- Remote notarization: Often similar or slightly higher fees
Always ask about fees upfront to avoid surprises. Some notaries charge per signature, others per document. Get a written quote if possible.
This is common, and it's okay! Here's how to handle it:
- Bring documentation: Screenshots from blockchain explorers, transaction details, and our generated contract explain everything clearly
- Explain simply: "This is a contract for a transaction recorded on a blockchain, similar to a bank transfer but using cryptocurrency"
- Emphasize the contract: Focus on the contract terms rather than the technical details of crypto
- Be patient: Many notaries are learning about crypto and may ask questions
If a notary is uncomfortable, they may decline. In that case, try another notary—many are becoming more crypto-friendly.
Yes, you can notarize a contract retroactively, but there are important considerations:
- Notarization after the fact still provides legal documentation and recognition
- It's useful for tax purposes, compliance, and dispute resolution
- However, it may carry less weight than a contract notarized before the transaction
- Some notaries may require additional documentation or explanations
For best legal protection, notarize before or at the time of the transaction. But retroactive notarization is still valuable for documentation purposes.
Yes, typically all parties must be present, but the rules vary:
- In-person: All parties must physically be at the notary's office
- Remote notarization: All parties join via video call simultaneously
- Separate appointments: Some jurisdictions allow parties to sign separately, but this is less common
The notary must verify each party's identity and witness their signature. For international transactions, remote notarization can be a practical solution.
A notarized contract doesn't expire—it remains valid indefinitely as long as:
- The contract terms haven't been fulfilled or superseded
- It hasn't been legally voided or replaced by a new agreement
- The statute of limitations for enforcement hasn't passed (varies by jurisdiction, typically 3-10 years)
Keep your notarized contract in a safe place. It serves as permanent legal documentation of your transaction and can be used for tax purposes, legal disputes, or compliance audits years later.
Required documents:
- Generated contract (PDF or printed copy)
- Valid government-issued ID for all parties (passport, driver's license, or national ID)
- Blockchain transaction proof (transaction hash or explorer screenshot)
- Wallet addresses involved in the transaction
Recommended documents:
- Blockchain explorer screenshots showing transaction details
- Email or chat records documenting the agreement
- Service agreements or invoices
- Payment confirmations or receipts
Technical & Blockchain
Currently:
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Ethereum (ETH)
- Binance Smart Chain (BNB)
- Polygon (MATIC)
We’re expanding to support more blockchains via Moralis API.
A transaction hash (or TxID) is a unique identifier for a blockchain transaction. Example: 0x5f2b4a8e3c1d2f9a.... You can find it in your crypto wallet or blockchain explorer (Etherscan, BscScan, Blockchair, etc.).
Yes. You can:
- Insert variables (e.g., {buyer_name}, {transaction_hash}, {amount_crypto})
- Edit text inside templates
- Save your own reusable templates
You can regenerate your contract as many times as needed before downloading. Simply update the information in the form and create a new version. Once downloaded, you can also edit the Word (DOCX) format directly. However, remember that once a contract is signed by both parties, modifications require mutual agreement and should be documented as an addendum.
Absolutely! Our platform offers extensive customization options:
- Choose from professional templates (Vehicle Purchase, Real Estate, Service Agreement, Basic Contract)
- Select different variants (darkmode, compact, etc.)
- Edit contract terms using our template editor (Pro and Lifetime plans)
- Add or modify clauses as needed
- Export in DOCX format for manual editing before printing
However, remember that significant legal changes should be reviewed by an attorney to ensure they're valid and enforceable.
Export formats vary by plan:
- Starter: PDF only
- Pro: PDF & DOCX
- Lifetime: PDF, DOCX, PNG, and JPEG
PDF is perfect for direct submission to notaries, while DOCX allows you to make edits before finalizing.
Yes. We support digital signatures that are legally recognized in many jurisdictions. For additional protection, notarization is also available. Digital signatures can be added directly to the PDF or DOCX files using standard PDF signing tools or Word's signature features.
Pricing & Plans
Our Starter plan is completely free with no hidden fees. You get 1 contract per month in PDF format. This allows you to test our service risk-free.

No, you'll never lose your downloaded contracts. They're yours to keep forever. However, if you downgrade from Pro to Starter, you'll be limited to 1 contract per month going forward. Your contract history remains accessible.
If you're on Starter (1/month) or Pro (10/month) and need more contracts, you can upgrade at any time. We'll notify you when you're approaching your limit. Lifetime users have unlimited contracts, so this isn't a concern.
Security & Data
Your privacy and security are our top priorities. We only fetch publicly available blockchain data using your transaction hash. We don't store your private keys, wallet addresses, or personal information. All data processing happens securely, and you can download your contract without creating an account. Your transaction hash is only used to retrieve blockchain data that is already public.
No. You never connect your wallet. We only require the transaction hash, which is already public on the blockchain. This means we can never access your funds, private keys, or any sensitive wallet information.
By default, contracts are generated on demand and can be downloaded instantly. You can choose to save them in your dashboard for easier access (Pro and Lifetime plans), but storage is optional. We never share your contracts with third parties.
We collect minimal information. For the free plan, you can use the service without creating an account. If you choose to create an account (for Pro or Lifetime plans), we only collect your email address for account management and support. We never sell or share your personal information with third parties.
