A smart contract is an agreement between two people in the form of a computer code.
Smart
contracts are one of the most appealing features associated with blockchain
technology because they eliminate the interference of the third party. Although
blockchain functions as a database, verifying that transactions have occurred,
smart contracts are computers that execute pre-determined conditions. Think of
a smart contract as a machine that runs "if/then," or conditional,
programming.
When the requirements of a smart contract are met – for example, when goods arrive in a port and two parties agree to cryptocurrency exchange – they will automate the transfer of bitcoin, fiat money, or the receipt of a shipment of goods, allowing them to proceed on their path. A blockchain stores the state of the smart contract behind it all.
How do Smart
Contracts mimic business rules?
Smart
contracts are neither "smart" nor "contracts" in the common
legal context. They're nothing more than software that translates business law.
"People
often inquire about the differences between smart contracts and business rules.
The response is that the theory is the same; however, smart contracts can
automate processes that span organizational borders and include many entities,
which traditional methods of automating business rules cannot". Hence
verifying the difference between good and a bad co

of good data in Smart Contracts
Quality
programming is critical since a smart contract is just as good as the rules
used to automate processes. Is it also critical? The precision with which data
is fed into a smart contract. Since smart contract rules can't be changed once
they're in place. A contract cannot be changed once it has been written by
either the user or the programmer.
So, if the
data isn't right – and just because it's on a blockchain doesn't mean it is –
the smart contract won't function. External data sources, such as data feeds
and APIs, are fed into blockchains and used for smart contract execution; a
blockchain cannot directly "fetch" data.
Potential Problems with Smart Contracts Data
According
to Navarro, the way regular contracts work today may be problematic because one
party can perform a job but the other party may decide not to pay, resulting in
a legal dispute, or one of the parties can make assumptions about a complicated
contract that are not valid.
"Such
contracts aren't strictly enforceable, and they can't be enforced by technology
in the same way that a smart contract can." According to Navarro. "A
smart contract is deterministic; it can be upheld indefinitely as long as the
incidents associated with its contractual clauses occur."

of current crimes then we can change the way contracts can operate.

already found, ensuring that every network user is running the same version of
a smart contract is a challenge.

Due to the
strong emphasis on process efficiency, supply chain, and logistics
opportunities, financial services, and insurance companies are currently at the
forefront of blockchain growth and implementation, while transportation,
government, and utility sectors are now engaging more. And all of this is
expected to make smart contracts more commonplace in the coming years.
