One of the great features that <strong>Ethereum<\/strong> has provided is the possibility of <strong>Registering Smart Contracts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Does a Smart Contract Mean<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>An <strong>intelligent contract<\/strong> is a contract that the parties to the contract, as soon as <strong>agreement<\/strong> and the start of execution, are not <strong>concerned<\/strong> about the failure to fulfill the obligations of the other party because the contract will continue to <strong>operate automatically<\/strong> and intelligently after it is executed.<\/p>\n<p>The smart contract is like ordinary paper contracts, but all of this is digitally executed on a <strong>block diagram platform<\/strong>, in <strong>fact<\/strong>, an intelligent contract like an <strong>application<\/strong> is installed on an <strong>operating system<\/strong> called <strong>Block Chain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>traditional system<\/strong>, it <strong>ensures the implementation<\/strong> of the contract with third parties and <strong>governments<\/strong>. You sign an <strong>agreement<\/strong> with someone else. If the person does not comply with his <strong>obligations<\/strong>, you must comply with the law through the law, but in <strong>intelligent contracts<\/strong>, everything will be done <strong>automatically<\/strong>, and there is no longer any <strong>violation<\/strong> or failure to <strong>fulfill<\/strong> <strong>obligations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>blocking technology<\/strong> of <strong>China allows smart contracts<\/strong> to be irreversible. This means that if the intelligence contract is concluded in this network it cannot be reversed and continue automatically on its path because the system is decentralized and the central, as a result, the possibility of contract cancellation reaches zero.<\/p>\n<p>An example:<\/p>\n<p>Suppose you borrow from a bank and allow the bank to automatically withdraw money from your account at the time of the agreement. On the other hand, the bank also knows that you will be paid $ 2,000 per month to your account by the employer. Therefore, the contract is set to automatically charge $ 500 on your first account every month, and this will continue until your mortgage is settled. This is an intelligent contract that is enforceable by software systems. The China Ethereum Block System will also be able to write BlockChina Ethereum to set up contracts with solidity language.<\/p>\n<p>Another example: You might have seen shops in the <strong>city or hotels or airports<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You enter a piece of coin from one side to the other and by selecting a button, for example, <strong>you choose a drink<\/strong>. Well, it&#8217;s an intelligent, non-intermediary contract called the vendor. The device is designed to recognize your money and knows which one you want the product and deliver the same product to you. This process is also an irreversible process. You can no longer deliver the beverage machine and get the money.<\/p>\n<p>In the blockade system, smart writes are programmed into <strong>programming languages<\/strong> and then <strong>run on the network<\/strong>. These contracts are irreversible. The good thing about this is that there is no central block in the blockades, and once the contract is started, it is either contracted or it\u2019s better to say the software is distributed throughout the network and is available to all users.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Etr\u00e9mor was introduced by Vitalik Buterin
