ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

Like the procedure of an automatic vending machine, with which people make the simplest transactions, the smart contracts essentially work in the same fashion. Although the concept of “smart contracts” came into existence years ago, the development of Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, showed to the world the true potential of blockchain technology.  Nowadays, smart contracts constitute the most useful and successful application of blockchain technology, as their application provides many benefits for a wide range of industries and fields.  One of the major advantages of this technology’s application is the exclusion of human intervention form the equation for facilitating a transaction in a transparent and conflict-free way.  By replacing traditional contracts with smart ones, the issue of mistrust and other issues can be solved, while agent neutrality and automation is enabled.

This one (1) hour online course is designed to provide a simple explanation of Smart Contract technology by explaining how it works, why it is so important, its strengths and its potential impact in future.
