What is a Smart Contract?
In the world of blockchain, smart contracts are the foundation upon which decentralized applications are built.
✅ Simplified Definition:
A smart contract is a digital program that automatically runs when certain conditions are met, without human intervention.
Example: If you send 1 ETH, you receive an NFT directly – without an intermediary!
🛠️ Where are smart contracts used?
• In decentralized finance (DeFi).
• In digital markets for NFTs.
• In decentralized gaming (GameFi).
• In decentralized voting (DAO).
⚖️ The Main Advantage:
Trust is built on code, not on humans.
The contract executes what is written in it accurately... without bias or delay.
⚠️ Caution:
A smart contract does not mean it is "smart" in the literal sense; it relies entirely on what has been programmed into it. Any programming error = potential disaster!
