The potential for blockchain technology to eliminate the middleman andreplace the top down hierarchical model of governance with a system ofdistributed cooperation has opened up many new opportunities, as well asdilemmas. Surpassing the level of acceptance by early tech adopters, the marketof smart contracts is now moving towards wider acceptance from regular (nontech) users. For this to happen however, smart contract development will haveto overcome certain technical and legal obstacles to bring the code and theuser closer. Guided by notions from contract law and consumer protection wehighlight the information gap that exists between users, legal bodies and thesource code. We present a spectrum of low-code to no-code initiatives that aimat bridging this gap, promising the potential of higher regulatory acceptance.Nevertheless, this highlights the so called "Pitfall of the Trustless Dream",because arguably solutions to the information gap tend to make the system morecentralized. In this article, we aim to make a practical contribution ofrelevance to the wide-spread adoption of smart contracts and their legalacceptance by analyzing the evolving practices that bring the user and the codecloser.
