What Kyle and Ivan said... also, Contract Agreement was intended to be a set of verification methods used for the specific purpose of executing legally binding agreements. For example, signing a employment contract, loan paperwork, shareholder agreement, personal data use contract, etc. The assertionMethod property is the more generalized form of it. Whether or not the world needs contractAgreement is still yet to be determined. We'd need legal opinion to weigh in on whether assertionMethod is good enough, or if having a particular class of verification methods specifically for the purposes of entering into legal agreements would be useful (from the perspective of legal enforcement in courts). -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Veres One Decentralized Identifier Blockchain Launches https://tinyurl.com/veres-one-launches
