What Is a Smart Contract and How Can Businesses Use It?

A smart contract is code on a blockchain that executes rules automatically when conditions are met.

Definition

It’s a self‑executing agreement with transparent logic and immutable execution records.

Business value

Automates settlement, reduces disputes, and improves auditability.

Examples and use cases

Escrow payments, revenue sharing, on‑chain loyalty, and automated compliance checks.

Risks and challenges

Bugs are costly. Audits, testing, and upgrade strategies are essential.

When it makes sense (and when it doesn’t)

Best for automated, rules‑based flows. Not ideal when human judgment is required.
