Up & Up!

What an exciting week that was!

This week on NNF (Navigate with Nord Finance),

Let’s dive into the crypto market action, decode important news, and understand a little bit about Smart Contracts.

NNF of the week:

1 Min Market:

After staying flat for the last week the crypto market quickly climbs back this week.

BTC reclaims $20,000 and ETH reclaims the $1,500 mark. The crypto market cap is hovering around $1 Trillion.

The market may try to test the august high in the coming weeks but we can’t predict the market. Staying invested and keep investing small amounts regularly can help you ride the crypto market volatility and generate long-term returns.

Blockchain Bytes:

Today, we’re demystifying Smart Contracts in this segment. Quickly get an idea of Smart Contracts and understand the behind the scene tech of your favorite Web3 products.

Smart Contracts

Smart contracts are virtual contracts signed between two parties. The terms of the contract are coded into them and are documented on the blockchain. Smart contracts are also self-executable as soon as the predetermined terms are met. There is no need for an intermediary or third-party for the smart contract to be executed.

Features

Secure

Blockchain ensures that smart contracts cannot tamper with after they are agreed upon by the parties. This is done by cryptographically recording data in an immutable manner. The element of corruption is prevented as there is no third-party involvement.

Transparent

The smart contracts are documented on a blockchain, meaning anyone on the chain can view the transaction. But, since they are encrypted, traceability of the parties is tough. There is no authority to validate the smart contract. It self-executes as the terms of the contract are met.

Efficient

Smart contracts replace the need for voluminous paperwork that is prominent in the traditional way of how contracts work. Also, smart contracts are executed in minutes and have a negligible time delay.

Affordable

There is no need for a third-party to conduct or validate the transaction. Hence, smart contracts are inexpensive when compared to traditional systems.

Use Cases:

Your favorite Web3 platforms such as DeFi, NFT Marketplaces, P2E games, DAOs, etc. use smart contracts to create new ways to use digital assets.
