A technical contract or a set of rules declared during the initial period for every function in the digital format. Let us make this clearer - it’s a computer protocol enforced in the coding part to satisfy the required conditions. The blockchain platform is used to set all these conditions, and 6here we're providing with comprehensive guidelines about the smart contract.
The conflicts are avoided within the network using such an efficient idea developed back in 1996 when Nick Szabo came up with such a revolutionized idea! During the initial stages, it was just a basic concept proposed by him. Later on, a well-maintained system is developed and then implemented with the necessary modifications.
HOW DOES A SMART CONTRACT WORK?
Let’s narrate about smart contracts with an example, and you’ll get proper knowledge of it.
Suppose you’re going to sell a plot, and you have many expectations about your buyer like,
You would like to sell the plot (say 2 acres), and you have an expected price in your mind.
Many buyers approach you and negotiation is always a concern.
You can’t just bargain everyone one after other and it’s a headache!
Taxes, land clearance, and other rules come in between as legal norms.
The purpose of buying might be your concern.
Likewise, many factors arise during this period of time, and you need to go through these each and every time.
If these all things are working or connected through blockchain then, 'smart contract' comes in handy! It can resolve all these complexities easily and make everything simple. With smart contracts, one can easily set the conditions, and if it is satisfied, you're good to go!
You can potentially implement such conditions in a smart contract, and with special conditions, you can make sure of everything. Say like, the right buyer, the right price, the right purpose, etc. Here, you can provide the negotiable range and if it matches the expectation - the plot is sold!
Here are a comparative infographic depicted for your best concern.
ADVANTAGES/BENEFITS OF USING SMART CONTRACTS
Simple and well-organized
You can add a set of conditions, and every time a new buyer comes in, it'll automatically check these conditions.
A trust deal is what the world needs and you can easily earn it.
The contract is open for everyone in the network and you may call it – “transparent network”.
Timestamp functionality is used to set all the functionalities like negotiation
A cost-effective approach is maintained here
Accurate and reliable source of contract etc.
These advantages keep your requirements satisfy easily!
The paper and digital contracts involve a third-person and there is a possibility for a conflict here. This situation is also avoided with the introduction of smart contracts.
The applicability of the smart contracts varies from service to service. This service range from,
ICO services
Token sales
Transaction
DApp development etc.
In fact, every service where “if else conditions” comes in, follows a smart contract for best results. Let’s explain that part too – for ICO services, the smart contract is used by including various stages of token sales. Well, these stages are provided in the smart contract in a custom manner, and it varies as per the needs and requirements.
Say, like in token sales/ICO event, there may be many stages like private sales, public sales, Airdrop, Pre-sales, Post-sales, etc. And for each of these stages, certain conditions are set using the smart contract. Of all the tokens developed by the organization in the private toke sales, only a 10% may be available for sale. Such limitations can be set using the smart contract. Other factors like how long the event will be available for sales, bonus with certain conditions, etc. The variable function is used to implement the timeframe part.
"If else" condition is applicable here in the smart contract, say like - if the desired sales aren't closed in the right time, you can provide an else condition in the smart contract. It defines what happens next, what is the alternative, will the sales time extend and similar conditions. Complete detail of the project is available within the smart contract and is transparent in nature (public).
APPLICATIONS OF SMART CONTRACT IN REAL WORLD
Well, we have discussed the applicability in services part but not that in the real world! Let’s see the field of applications,
Financial institutions
Insurance sector
Supply chain management
Mortar/property sector
Transportation/shipping segment
