The paper examines some characteristics of a public contract and an adhesion contract in agreements concluded by means of information technologies. This type of agreements involves the use of computer programs, software agents, including Internet platforms. Based on the comparative legal method, the author concludes that agreements formed with the help of technological means, including smart contract technologies, the formation of a contract in information (digital) systems, the subject of which is a digital financial asset, on the «Internet» information and telecommunications network, contain features of the structures of an adhesion contract and a public contract. The automation of the processes of concluding and performing obligations and the introduction of technological «phenomena» into civil circulation allow for a new look at standard model structures, expanding the legal boundaries of their operation.
