Overview
A smart contract is a self-executing contract with the terms of the agreement between buyer and seller being directly written into lines of code. The code and the agreements contained therein exist across a distributed, decentralised blockchain network. The code controls the execution, and transactions are trackable and irreversible. This unit is for students to develop basic knowledge of smart contracts. Learning activities will focus on understanding the basic concept of smart contracts, a broad landscape of supervised and unsupervised learning methods with a focus on the state-of-the-art knowledge for different smart contract platforms and the application of smart contracts into different industries.
