Imagine making a deal online, and it automatically executes without needing a lawyer, middleman, or trust. That’s the power of smart contracts.

💡 What Is a Smart Contract?

A smart contract is a self-executing program stored on a blockchain that runs automatically when its predefined conditions are met.

It’s like a digital agreement that doesn’t need anyone to supervise — no delays, no cheating, no third parties.

🛠 Where Are Smart Contracts Used?

✅ Automatically transferring crypto when conditions are met

✅ Powering DeFi apps (e.g., lending, swapping)

✅ Running NFT marketplaces

✅ Enabling DAO governance and Web3 games

🌐 On Which Platform?

Smart contracts are most commonly built on the Ethereum blockchain, the first major blockchain to support complex smart contract functionality.

Other platforms that support smart contracts include:

  • BNB Smart Chain (BSC)

  • Solana

  • Avalanche

  • Polygon

  • Cardano


🧠 Simple Analogy:

A smart contract is like a vending machine:

  • You insert money (condition met),

  • You get a snack (automatic execution).

    No need for a cashier — just code doing its job.
