The Potential of Smart Contract Networks
Smart contract networks have the potential to revolutionize financial services and the internet at large. These networks enable the deployment of complex contracts onto a blockchain, facilitating transparent and autonomous business operations without centralized intermediaries. Use cases for smart contract networks have been diversifying, including decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and stablecoins. They offer benefits such as open and transparent transaction exchanges, self-custody of assets, and on-chain lending with publicly available risk controls. The Ethereum blockchain has been a key player in the growth of smart contract networks, undergoing technological upgrades and the rise of layer two scaling technologies. However, concerns around increasing centralization and transaction censorship on these networks persist.
