A smart contract is a self-executing contract with the terms of the agreement between buyer and seller (or donor and organization) being directly written into lines of code. This session will focus on the computational element of blockchain technology. Smart contracts allow for implementing user-defined operations of arbitrary complexity that are not possible through plain cryptocurrency protocols. They are a powerful feature that, when properly designed and coded, can result in autonomous, efficient, and transparent systems.
Participants will design and program smart contracts in Python, and test and deploy them in a development environment.
Session Learning Objectives:
· Define what a smart contract is
· Conceptualize the significance of automating transactions
· Identify what differentiates traditional transactions from on-chain interactions
