😎 In our last post, we talked a bit about how we were implementing the EVM (Ethereum virtual machine) technology into our system. Today, we'll be quickly going through one of the things that EVM gives us a key to - smart contracts.

➡️ Smart contracts by definition are self-executing contracts with already set predetermined conditions. Once said conditions are met, the agreement can be executed automatically without having to go through a third party.

👤 Each network user can create a customizable smart contract as long as it goes with EVM standards. All a user needs are the conditions and methods of interaction with the network. These smart contracts allow in other terms users to create decentralized applications

🔹️ These dApps are blockchain-enabled apps, and smart contracts allow them to actually access the blockchain.

🔹️ The integration of this system avoids denial-of-service attacks, saves time, protects your privacy, and ensures complete data integrity.

👍 BTCU decided to implement it for those reasons and because our user's comfort is what matters most. Thanks to these smart contracts and dApps integration, the decentralization factor will become much more prominent are more opportunities will be open for everyone (such as atomic swaps).
