Smart Contracts from Decimal

Smart contracts are an incredibly efficient and safe way to automate business contracts. They are now easily integrated and can help businesses save time and money. However, smart contract development requires expertise and experience.

What is a Smart Contract?

Computer code can be programmed to execute smart contracts automatically between two parties. As a set of virtual promises accompanied by enforcement protocols, they were first proposed in the 1990s by Nick Szabo, a pioneer in modern computer science. An early version of a smart contract can be seen in the Bitcoin protocol, which records proofs of payments. Blockchain-based smart contracts store all terms in a distributed database that cannot be changed. Additionally, payments and counterparties are automated on the blockchain. With Ethereum's protocol, smart contracts can be created and executed more easily than ever before, as complex transactions can be coded into the system.

What are the benefits of smart contracts?

There are many benefits to using smart contracts that businesses have been quick to pick up on and make full use of. We thought it would be best to highlight the benefits as being in five main areas:

Transparency

Each participant receives the same information at the same time, minimising the possibility of a contract being manipulated. Using smart contracts, smart agreements can be made and verified without changing data, since they are based on blockchain technology. As these transactions are duplicated so that everyone involved has a record of the transactions, the parties benefit from this transparency in terms of security and trust. In other words, it couldn't be safer as a form of automated administration.

Independence

Each participant receives the same information at the same time, minimising the possibility of a contract being manipulated. Using smart contracts, smart agreements can be made and verified without changing data, since they are based on blockchain technology. As these transactions are duplicated so that everyone involved has a record of the transactions, the parties benefit from this transparency in terms of security and trust. These benefits are more than useful, they can also help a business to grow.

Cost saving

One of those benefits we talked about in the previous point, cost savings can be enjoyed quickly when using smart contracts. A third party is not necessary for verifying contract terms and providing confidence, so costs are reduced. A contract of this type eliminates intermediary fees.

Speed

The benefits of smart contracts not needing intermediaries continues. Having no intermediary reduces both the economic and time costs. By automating the contract process, less time is needed than when a third party is involved.

Updates

This technologically advanced and autonomous system automatically adjusts and updates the terms of the contract, displacing intermediaries and implementing new processes that do so. All of this happens as and when updates are needed.

What is a Smart Contract?

Smart contracts work like other blockchain transfers. The steps are as follows:

1. Blockchain wallet users initiate transactions.

2. As soon as the transaction is received, the identity is confirmed by the distributed database.

3. Transfer of funds, or a transaction, is approved.

4. There is a code included in the transaction that specifies which type of transaction should be executed.

5. Each transaction is added to the blockchain as a block.

6. The same process is followed to update contract statuses.

Smart Contract Development Process

If a business contracts a developer to develop a smart contract, a process begins whereby the company and developer work closely together to produce the optimal result.

Step #3

The development then begins. During this stage, smart contracts are written for the chosen blockchain platform (e.g. Ethereum, EOS, etc.). Testing of the contracts is also carried out during this stage.

In real estate

Closing fees, title transfers, and broker fees are all potential hidden costs that buyers are likely to encounter when buying a home or other property. A smart contract that operates without intermediaries might be able to reduce or eliminate these costs. Using smart contracts to record a piece of property can save parties time and money by automating much of the process. Streamlining rental agreements, credit or mortgage agreements, warranties, and insurance claims are just a few of the ways smart contracts can benefit parties. The use of smart contracts and blockchain can potentially reduce the need for legal counsel and other advisory services in real estate.

In gaming

This industry is worth over a hundred billion dollars and is constantly growing, but value is not always distributed equitably. Players pay to play and interact with games developed by developers. Thus, players are forced to spend money in order to gain access to in-game assets and gameplay configurations. A blockchain-based gaming platform, on the other hand, will enable players to capture the value and utility of in-game purchases more effectively. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are used in gaming to represent in-game content with blockchain technology. A smart contract is at the heart of NFTs. A NFT is a token that is unique, rare, and indivisible, whereas the blockchain networks that enable it enable player ownership, provable scarcity, interoperability, and immutability. As a result of these characteristics, blockchain has the potential to drive mainstream adoption as well as more equitable value-models in gaming.

In healthcare

It is possible to store encrypted health records of patients on a blockchain. Individuals would be restricted from accessing records due to privacy concerns. Research can also be conducted securely and confidentially using smart contracts. As proof of service, hospital receipts can be automatically shared on the blockchain with insurance companies. Using a ledger is not only useful for managing supplies, supervising drugs, and complying with regulations, but it can also be used for many other tasks as well.

In financial services

It is possible for smart contracts to transform traditional financial services in a variety of ways. When insurance claims are processed, they perform error checks, route the payments, and provide them to the user. By incorporating smart contracts, accounting records can be protected from data infiltration. Shareholders can also participate transparently in decision-making. Aside from that, they assist in trade clearing, which is the transfer of funds after the trade settlements are calculated.
