Smart Contract
What is Smart Contract?
A smart contract is a self-executing contract with the terms of the agreement between buyer and seller being directly written into lines of code. The code and the agreements contained therein exist across a distributed, decentralized blockchain network.
Why It Matters
-
It automates the execution of agreements without the need for a central authority or legal system.
-
It reduces the risk of manipulation or error by ensuring that the contract only executes when conditions are met.
-
It lowers transaction costs by removing intermediaries from the contracting process.
