Smart Contracts
Self-executing programs on the blockchain: like a digital vending machine
Autonomous
Runs automatically when conditions are met: no human trigger needed.
Immutable
Code cannot be changed after deployment: rules are permanent.
Transparent
Code is visible to everyone on the blockchain for verification.
Composable
"Money Legos": developers combine existing contracts to build new products.
If blockchain is the immutable ledger, smart contracts are what make it programmable and intelligent. This module explores how these pieces of code are transforming blockchain from a simple database into a global, permissionless computer.
