Bitcoin is, without question, one of the greatest things that happened to the world of fintech.

Smart contract on Bitcoin Introducing Smart Contracts A smart contract contains a set of rules and conditions that the transacting parties need to agree to in order to effect a transaction. The smart contract is what elevates the utility-value of blockchain. This would mean that there is no need for a trusted third party or any other intermediaries to ensure the upkeeping of the trust. This also translates to lower cost, faster transaction times, and h...

Ever since ‘blockchain’ and ‘funding’ found parallel mentions, ICO was considered to be de facto standard for raising funds for crypto project and startups. The process for an ICO is quite simple. A company can offer investors a new innovative cryptocurrency or a representative token that the investors can buy using Bitcoin or Ethereum or fiat currency. This money will be used to finance the development of a new project or application. Future investors receive tokens and a promise that the investment that they have made will benefit them in the form of access to the platform, product or services. In ICO, the legal protection of potential investors is considerably poor. The entire process is based on trust. There is every chance that the trust can be misused and any team can scam the investors. While the rapid advancement of Technology can be considered a boon, making the existing legal system catch up with the technological advancements is another task. This is one of the major reas...

ERC stands for Ethereum Requests for Comments and is used by Ethereum developers. In order to execute a token in the Ethereum ecosystem, the developers need to abide by a set of rules established by the ERC. Tokens developed compliant to ERCs called ERC tokens have become popular over the years. The property of the ERC token that attracts its users most is the fact that it can be traded. This exchange is possible only if its value is standard. Let’s look at two well-known ERC tokens and their characteristics. Ethereum Smart Contracts ERC-20 ERC-20 tokens represent a certain value and come under fungible tokens. Much like currency, they can be interchanged with other ERC-20 tokens as they all are the same. These tokens have the nature of being divisible, meaning you could send someone 0.5 of your token. A majority of the tokens on the Ethereum platform follow ERC-20. For a token to be considered as an ERC-20 token, it needs to fulfill the conditions set by ERC-20. The prima...

Whether you’re renting an apartment, buying a car or opening a bank account, contracts are an essential part of any formal agreement. The traditional contracts involve a high volume of paperwork and complexity, without mention administrative costs and depend on a middleman to settle everything. And as we move into a more computerized world, Smart Contracts emerged as the natural way of making business agreements more reliable and less complicated. Especially in the Finance Industry. What is a Smart Contract? Simply said, this is a digital contract built into a blockchain network. And, since it’s blockchain-based, the Smart Contract absorbs some of the distributed ledger characteristics, such and immutability and transparency. The great catch of a Smart Contract is its self-enforcing nature. Once all the clauses are settled, the contract executes itself, without the need for human intervention. This specific feature allows the computer-based protocol to automate processes...
