Blockchain Applications for Smart Contract Technologies

Blockchain technology has garnered much attention in recent years from both academic and business spheres.

At its core, this technology enables the implementation of smart contracts, automated software applications that execute agreements on a secure and distributed blockchain ledger.

This ledger, known for its transparency, facilitates trustless transactions, eliminating the need for centralized authority.

Smart contracts, stored on the blockchain, automate processes such as goods sales, contract execution, and currency exchange, making them accessible to all users.
