MetaCRDT: A Structured, AI-Native Successor to PDFs and E-Signatures

Abstract

Digital agreements, contracts, and form submissions are still constrained by legacy document formats designed for the paper era—most notably PDFs and static e-signature platforms like DocuSign. These formats fail to support structured data, AI processing, multi-party collaboration, and transparent auditability, making them inadequate for modern legal, compliance, and financial workflows.

MetaCRDT introduces a structured, AI-native, and conflict-free framework for digital agreements. Built on Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs), MetaCRDT enables real-time multi-user collaboration, cryptographic auditability, and machine-readable legal workflows without relying on proprietary or vendor-locked solutions. Unlike PDFs, which trap legal agreements in an unstructured, AI-hostile format, MetaCRDT ensures that contracts, tax forms, employment agreements, and other critical documents are programmable, interoperable, and verifiable at scale.


Meta – Represents higher-order structure, abstraction, and interoperability.

CRDT – Stands for Conflict-Free Replicated Data Type, the core technology that enables real-time, multi-party collaboration without data conflicts. This ensures seamless, decentralized, and secure legal workflows.

Together, MetaCRDT is the meta-layer for structured, collaborative, and AI-driven legal documents—designed for a post-PDF, post-DocuSign era.


MetaCRDT is a suite of tools for structured, real-time legal agreements:

  1. Schema — The standard for multi-party, real-time legal documents.
  2. Editor — IDE for legal agreements, powered by AI.
  3. Engine — Real-time agreement submissions using CRDTs & AI.
  4. Library — Open library of legal documents, tax forms, and agreements.
