By utilizing this technology, businesses can avoid conflicts, save time, and focus on their core business.

A smart contract, as the name suggests, is an electronic contract that has the capability to self-execute when predetermined conditions are met. Since these contracts leverage blockchain technology, predefined actions, such as payments, can be executed automatically without any dependence on intermediaries.
