Smart Contracts: Guide for Business Owners
You may have heard the term "smart contract" and wondered what
it was and how it might help your company. Blockchain
technology is used by smart contracts to automate the
negotiation and execution of digital contracts.
A smart contract is a digital contract between two or more
parties that stores contractual terms and penalties for
violations. The computer runs code that checks what happened
and enforces them by running the rules that have been set.
Third parties cannot modify the intelligent contract to suit
their own needs, so transactions are secure, transparent and
auditable. In addition, decentralized technology eliminates
fraud and third-party interference with transactions.
