What are Smart Contracts?

Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. They automatically execute when predefined conditions are met, eliminating the need for intermediaries.

Smart Contract Characteristics

  • •Autonomous: Execute automatically without human intervention
  • •Trustless: No need to trust third parties
  • •Transparent: Code is visible and verifiable
  • •Immutable: Cannot be changed once deployed
  • •Deterministic: Same input always produces same output
