Liber III. Trade and Settlements
TITULUS I. Monetary System
- Single Currency. The only legal tender within the territory of Juvantia is the Juvantian Denarius (JVD).
- Prohibition of Fiat. The use of any other currencies (fiat or cryptocurrencies) for settlements regarding any goods, services, or values within Juvantia is strictly prohibited.

TITULUS II. Smart Contracts
- Certification. All smart contracts operating within the economic zone of Juvantia must obtain certification from the Consul's Office (Officium Consulis). Code audit is not a mandatory requirement of the law, but certification is necessary for legal status.

- Illegal Contracts. The use of uncertified ("shadow") contracts is prohibited. Participants in such transactions bear joint and several liability.
