Smart Contracts

Smart contracts are self-executing contracts where the terms and conditions of the agreement are directly written into code. Once the predefined conditions are met, the smart contract automatically executes the agreed-upon actions, such as transferring assets, without the need for intermediaries. Operating on blockchain networks, smart contracts offer a high level of transparency, security, and immutability, ensuring that all parties involved can trust the process without relying on a centralized authority.

Smart contracts have a wide range of applications, from decentralized finance (DeFi) to supply chain management. In DeFi, smart contracts enable decentralized lending, borrowing, and trading platforms by automating complex financial transactions. For example, a smart contract can automatically execute a loan agreement, releasing funds to the borrower once the collateral is provided, and enforcing repayment terms based on predefined conditions. This automation reduces the need for manual intervention, streamlining processes and reducing costs for users.
