Deep dives
The Value of Smart Contracts
Smart contracts are software that enforce the terms of a contract-like arrangement between third parties, enabling strangers to cooperate safely and reliably. They have revolutionized industries like e-commerce, allowing millions of people to trust and transact with strangers in ways that were unimaginable before. The first production smart contract, called the Amix, was deployed in 1989 and marked a significant milestone in the evolution of smart contract technology. Building present-day smart contracts on Ethereum and Solidity differs from the first one built in 1989 due to the introduction of blockchain technology, which provides replicated execution on machines in different jurisdictions, increasing the integrity and reliability of the software.
