Smart contract in Blockchain

A technology that will change the way you trust through an automated contract management system.

A smart contract is an agreement between two parties in the form of computer code. They run on the blockchain, so they are stored on a public database and cannot be changed. The transactions that happen in a smart contract processed by the blockchain means they can be sent automatically without a third party.

In 1994, Nick Szabo (a cryptographer), came up with the idea of being able to record contracts in the form of computer code. This contract would be activated automatically when certain conditions are met. This idea could potentially remove the need for trusted third-party companies (such as banks).

But why? The answer is simple — because you no longer need a trusted third party when you make a transaction. Instead, the contracts (or transactions) are self-executed on a trusted network that is completely controlled by computers.

Cool idea, right? Szabo worked on this idea for many years and even wrote a book called “Smart Contracts: Building Blocks for Digital Free Markets“. The problem was that back in 1994, blockchain technology didn’t exist.

  

What is a smart contract?
A smart contract is an agreement between two people in the form of computer code. They run on the blockchain, so they are stored on a public database and cannot be changed.

The transactions that happen in a smart contract processed by the blockchain, which means they can be sent automatically without a third party. This means there is no one to rely on!

The transactions only happen when the conditions in the agreement are met — there is no third party, so there are no issues with trust.

How does it work?

Smart contracts are potentially one of the most useful tools associated with blockchain, and they can enable the transfer of everything from bitcoin and fiat currency to goods transported around the world. Here's what they do and why they're likely to gain traction.

Smart contracts are self-executing, business automation applications that run on a decentralized network such as blockchain. And because they're able to remove administrative overhead, smart contracts are one of the most attractive features associated with blockchain technology. While blockchain acts as a kind of database, confirming that transactions have taken place, smart contracts execute pre-determined conditions; think about a smart contract as a computer executing on "if/then," or conditional programming.

This is how we add the smart in smart contracts.

Between two or more parties signing a contract and the execution of the contract, there are a lot of intermediaries that get involved in the process making it lengthy, cumbersome, costly, and less credible.

A blockchain-based smart contract will make the execution of the blockchain smart contract faster, reliable, automated, tamper-proof, immutable, decentralized, self-auditing, failure-proof along with the ability to have multiple business models on a single contract. Our blockchain smart contract developers will replace every intermediary between the parties involved in the contract.
