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.
