What is a smart contract?

A smart contract is a computer program that is stored and runs on a decentralized ‘trustless’ network, such as a blockchain. By trustless we mean that the validity of information in the network can be verified by anyone. Many people think smart contracts only apply to newer blockchain networks like Ethereum, but Bitcoin also uses smart contracts, albeit with limited functionality.

Use the multichain Bitcoin.com Wallet app, trusted by millions to safely and easily send, receive, buy, sell, trade, use, and manage Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ether (ETH), and the most popular cryptocurrencies. The app enables you to interact with smart contracts on a vareity of public blockchain networks.
