Smart Contracts
Discover how smart contracts automate agreements on the blockchain, powering trustless transactions in BinaryChain.
What is a Smart Contract?
Imagine a vending machine: you insert money, pick a snack, and it delivers automatically. A smart contract is like that—a program on the blockchain that runs automatically when conditions are met.
It eliminates intermediaries, ensuring fair and transparent agreements.
Key Aspects
Automation
Smart contracts execute actions (e.g., transferring funds) when predefined conditions are met, without manual intervention.
Example: BinaryChain’s smart contracts automate payments on the Transactions page.
Trustlessness
Parties don’t need to trust each other—the blockchain enforces the contract’s rules transparently.
Example: BinaryChain’s contracts ensure fair deals without middlemen.
Immutability
Once deployed, smart contracts can’t be altered, ensuring reliability and trust.
Example: BinaryChain’s contracts are locked on the blockchain.
How It Works in Blockchain
In BinaryChain, smart contracts streamline processes:
- Automation: Executes transactions when conditions are met.
- Transparency: Code is visible, ensuring fair execution.
- Security: Blockchain’s cryptography protects contracts.
