What are DeFi Smart Contracts?
The advent of Smart Contracts dates all the way back to the 1990s when a cryptographer, Nick Szabo defined it as "a set of promises, specified in digital form, including protocols within which the parties perform on these promises." At its core, Smart(defi smart contract development company in India) Contracts contain functions that are written in code that are executed when certain if-then criteria are met. The automatic execution that smart contracts facilitate is the basis on which all Decentralized protocols function. Without these, Dapps and DeFi protocols such as MakerDai, Compound, and UniSwap cannot function.
Smart Contracts, built on blockchains, make the need for middlemen obsolete. They are fully secure, remove time-consuming processes like verification, prevent third-party integrations, are accurate since the functions are written in code, and are autonomous. These features make Smart Contracts imperative for Decentralized Services to function.
