The security of smart contracts, or how can smart contracts actually fail? What's the problem with them? So far we've just spoken about how neat they are and how many croel things they can do. But i think that goes back to the different use cases that people imagine. And i mean, i've heard arguments that you should not touch smart contracts unless you're willing to like do, like, write your entire smart contract and by code and formally prove that it's correct to your intention.
In this episode, we dig into what the term smart contract means with our guest James Prestwich. First introduced in 1994 by Nick Szabo, smart contracts have inspired whole ecosystems of companies and projects to start thinking about blockchain in much bigger terms.
We explore what the term 'smart contract' means, where it comes from, some use cases and some of the new challenges that come along with it.
