Smart Contracts - Are They Really Smart? Smart contracts govern the way in which a blockchain function. The immutability of the blockchain extends into smart contracts as well - a smart contract once coded cannot be modified. This is one of the primary reasons for the blockchain and the data in the blockchain being super-secure. There is no way to edit the data on the blockchain, and there is no way to circumvent the conditions laid out on the smart contract.   Smart contract development This advantage has made blockchain highly dependable for financial transactions, maximizing security and minimizing efforts and expenses, both in time and money. However, sometimes, the biggest boon also becomes the biggest bane. Any software is supposed to have some room to ‘evolve’ and smart contracts, by virtue of their immutability, lack that attribute. Anything that doesn’t change according to the changing times cannot be honored with the prefix ‘smart’, and smart contracts should not ...

According to a survey conducted by Forbes, 65% of the executives focussed on transportation believe that the logistics industry will experience a tectonic shift from traditional methods to better technologies. Well, those days are not far when blockchain technology will revamp the entire supply chain and transportation industries. One may usually relate blockchain with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.  But, there is more to the technologies affiliated to the blockchain and this includes Ethereum Smart Contracts. So, how will smart contracts be a boon for the logistics industry? Let us take a look. Smart contracts are highly efficient in performance and adept at quickening and simplifying the functions and processes of the logistics industry. Moreover, implementing them in the supply chain industry will give a clear picture of how they are beneficial for this field. Blockchain Smart Contracts Transparency and Clarity Of Agreement Terms As it is based on the blockchain...

With the entry of bitcoins in 2009, the underlying blockchain technology spurted to fame. Today there is an umpteen number of cryptocurrency in the market, and this brings to light the need for some regulation. Smart contracts are digital contracts that serve the purpose of regulating transactions by using codes that get executed automatically if the conditions are met. Before developing a smart contract, it is essential to bear in mind a few things like - Smart Contract Development     The feasibility of smart contracts in your industry While blockchain technology has dramatically altered the dynamics of financial transactions, it is essential to consider whether a smart contract will meet the requirements of the industry you are working in. Unlike the financial sector where cryptocurrency has made far-reaching changes, the other domains and industries have been less receptive to cryptocurrency based transactions. Acknowledging the drawbacks of smart contracts W...

Communications is key, especially in Supply Chain. Unfortunately, miscommunication is what happens very often in this industry. Supply Chain is a complex process that involves a great number of parties - supplier, delivery staff, distribution, retail and etc. And with so many people in between the first and the last level of the chain, information can get lost or modified, affecting the expecting results and performance. The solution to solve this issue? Blockchain Smart Contracts. What is a Smart Contract? Smart Contract is a computer-based protocol built to facilitate and automate negotiations or enforce a contract performance. Built in a blockchain network, the digital contract works without the need of a third party. Once all the rules and agreements are settled, the protocol executes itself. Smart Contracts in Supply Chain Smart contracts in Supplychain How exactly a smart contract development can help solve the supply chain problems? To begin with, the in...

Ethereum is definitely the pupil who became the master. The blockchain platform learned everything it could with the Bitcoin network and, right now, it’s the master of distributed ledger technology. With Ethereum, building blockchain applications, solutions and software became easier. Now, the big thing in the platform is Smart Contracts. The self-executing digital contract works in an independent way, without the need of any human intervention. Once the clauses are defined, the contract becomes automatic. Smart Contract Development Smart Contract Development on Ethereum can be a revolution for a great number of industries. Because of the self-executing nature of the computer-based contract paperwork will turn into an obsolete process and make the work of lawyers and accountants, for an example, simpler. But how does a Smart Contract is built? Well, there are 4 basic steps for its development process: Gathering the requirements - Understand the idea of the contract, wh...

Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain is the perfect combination. Actually, the distributed ledger technology was the missing piece to make IoT finally take off. Why? Well, although IoT has an amazing concept of using the internet to make devices smarter, the security breach has always been a problem. But with the tamper-proof network of blockchain, this issue is solved. Blockchains and smart contracts for the internet of things But to really achieve the commercialization of IoT, a second-factor comes into the game: Smart Contracts. The digital contract built in the blockchain can execute itself based on already established rules and conditions. Food Containers, for an example, need a device to control the temperature so the product doesn’t go bad. Let’s say that, for some reason, the temperature gets high inside the container putting in risk the food.  With the help of blockchain, smart contracts and IoT, this device can correct itself to the right tempera...
