| Computer program stored in a blockchain, where the outcome of any execution of the program is also recorded on-chain. Smart contracts may take different forms and serve different functions, including, for example, token contracts, governance contracts, multisignature or escrow contracts, bridge contracts, proxy or upgradeable contracts, factory contracts, oracle-related contracts, or other contract architectures. They execute automated actions when certain conditions programmed in them are met and they are invoked by a transaction. Their execution may result in changes to the state of the information stored in the blockchain infrastructure, including smart contract storage, and may also generate internal transactions or trigger the execution of other smart contracts in cascade. | |
