Smart Contract Development
In the context of distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) like Ethereum and EOS, “smart contract” refers to an agreement between two or more parties that is stored on the blockchain. This kind of contract is governed by a set of rules and circumstances that trigger its execution once met. The whole of the blockchain network has unanimously agreed on this. They are immutable until everyone in the network agrees to a change. This makes smart contracts one of the safest and most efficient ways to create legally binding contracts.
How Smart Contracts Work?
Smart contracts are computer programmes that are executed according to “if/when…then…” statements stored in a distributed ledger. When certain criteria are met and verified, the tasks are executed by a group of computers. This might include anything from issuing a ticket to registering a car to sending out reminders. When a transaction is finalised, the blockchain is updated to reflect the new information. This means the transaction is final and only authorised parties may see the results.
It is possible to include as many conditions in a smart contract as are required to guarantee the task is done correctly. To establish the terms, the parties must determine the blockchain’s method of recording transactions and accompanying data, reach a consensus on the “if/when…then…” rules that apply to those transactions, explore any possible exceptions, and create a system for resolving disputes.
Developers still have the option of making the smart contract from scratch, but there are a growing number of commercial options for doing so, including pre-made templates and interfaces for creating contracts online.
