The document provides an overview of smart contracts, including their basis, usage, and implications for society. It defines smart contracts as "proofs of agreement" that can be placed on a blockchain to be executed decentralizedly. Examples are given of direct uses like publishing smart contracts as tokens or using decentralized applications that run on smart contracts. Potential applications discussed include financial derivatives, insurance, voting, identity/reputation systems, and crowdfunding. The document also examines smart contracts from the perspective of developers and impacts on government and regulations.

The Blockchain - The Technology behind Bitcoin Jérôme Kehrli
The blockchain and blockchain related topics are becoming increasingly discussed and studied nowadays. There is not one single day where I don't hear about it, that being on linkedin or elsewhere.
I interested myself deeply in the blockchain topic recently and this is the first article of a coming whole serie around the blockchain.
This presentation is an introduction to the blockchain, presents what it is in the light of its initial deployment in the Bitcoin project as well as all technical details and architecture concerns behind it.
We won't focus here on business applications aside from what is required to present the blockchain purpose, more concrete business applications and evolutions will be the topic of another presentation I'll post in a few weeks

From 7331 to legal : a selection of blockchain discussion topicsKoen Vingerhoets
During the Computational Law & Blockchain Festival (#clbfest19) of 2019/03/16, organised by the @LegalHackersBXL (@Tommy Vandepitte), I had the opportunity to address a room filled with legal people. Awesome!!
I started with a short business inspired explanation of #blockchain (oh - #hashing was there too), followed by a deeper dive in some specific topics. These topics are imho the elements requiring more legal input and as such a better understanding. Collaboration between your 7331 IT people and their legal colleagues benefits from a common view on the technology.
Koen Vingerhoets (https://www.slideshare.net/koenvingerhoets) explained (a) the basics of blockchain in its 6 key elements (transparency, ownership, traceability, distributed, trust, smart contracts) and (b) a few technical aspects on blockchain, like hashing, smart and ricardian contracts, bugs in the code, private ledgers, aspects to take into account to govern a (private) blockchain, and the impact of (EU) regulation.
The context was the second (2019) edition of the Computational Law and Blockchain Festival (#CLBFest), Brussels' node.

Blockchain is a tool. Samson Williams likens blockchain to a group text message, in which each participant receives a distributed, time-stamped, tamper-resistant (and encrypted) record of data transactions. Each group text has these characteristics. Everyone in the group “sees” the data, and none can change or gainsay any group message. Smart contracts are computer code put on the blockchain (how, exactly?) that establishes self-executing terms and conditions of a transaction. Are smart contracts smart? If certain data comes in and fulfills a pre-set term or condition, then rights and responsibilities are formed, terminated, modified, or shifted among the parties. Ah certainty and transparency, but also ah garbage in and garbage out. Are some contractual terms not amenable to smart contracting? And are smart contracts necessarily contracts? If not, can they still be useful? If a smart contract is a contract, what is the governing document? Is it the words business people and lawyers use, or is it the code that is supposed to reflect the words?

Where It All Started
Blockchain technology was first introduced in a whitepaper entitled: “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System,” by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008.
No reliance on trust
Digital signatures
Peer-to-peer network
Proof-of-work
Public history of transactions
Honest, independent nodes control majority of CPU computing power
Nodes vote with CPU computing power
Rules and incentives enforced through consensus mechanism
https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
*
Cryptocurrency Summarized
Bitcoin was the first digital, i.e., cryptocurrency
A maximum of 21 million Bitcoins can be generated
Just as with real world mining, energy must be invested to solve complex mathematical problems by which systems earn Bitcoins
https://www.cryptocoincharts.info/coins/info claims to be indexing 4,220 cryptocurrencies
Most circulated: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin
*
The Technology Behind Bitcoin
Think of Bitcoin as an electronic asset (as well as a digital currency)
A network of computers keeps track of Bitcoin payments, and adds them to an ever-growing list of all the Bitcoin payments that have been made, called “The Bitcoin Blockchain”
The file that contains data about all the Bitcoin transactions is often called a “ledger”
Bitcoin value is created through transaction processing, referred to as “mining,” which is performed by distributed processors called “nodes” of the peer-to-peer network
A Gentle Introduction to Bitcoin by Antony Lewis, https://bravenewcoin.com/assets/Reference-Papers/A-Gentle-Introduction/A-Gentle-Introduction-To-Bitcoin-WEB.pdf
*
Mining Evolution
Mining is the process whereby value is created through transaction processing that occurs on nodes of the network.
In 2009, one could mine 200 Bitcoins with a personal, home computer. In 2015, it would take about 98 years to mine just 1 Bitcoin.
Today there is almost no money to be made through traditional home mining.
ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) has been designed strictly for mining Bitcoins.
Groups of miners have formed mining pools, with each being paid their relati ...

The best smart contract platforms in 2021OliviaJune1
The smart contract has become a game-changer in the industry. Contract delivery and payout have both changed dramatically as a result. Only Ethereum was once considered to be the only platform for creating smart contracts
The latter has completely transformed how the business operates, and agreements are executed. In this blog, we will be elaborating on the working of smart contracts and its benefits.
Slides used during the first Studio on Air event. Topics were AI & blockchain, I covered the latter. As the focus was twofold, to explain what blockchain is about and to give some learning nuggets,

Restribute ~ Wealth re-distirbution by blockchain hardfork ~ Tomoaki Sato
After the DAO hardfork Ethereum has 2 networks, Ethereum and Ethereum classic.
By seeing the fact, Gini index can be decreased by blockchain hardfork.
Re-distribution can be good even for people who have wealth in some blockchain protocol, because it increases engagement, and bring more network value to the blockchain.
This is not only company /project level, also can be used for governmental level to do democratic re-distribution of wealth not by centralized authority.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

1) Key patterns for Multi-cluster architectures
2) Architectural comparison of several OSS/ CNCF projects to address these patterns
3) Evolution trends for the APIs of these projects
4) Some design recommendations & guidelines for adopting/ deploying these solutions.
5. Smart + Contract
• “Smart” means efficient.
• “Contract” doesn’t mean legal document, and it is
difficult for smart contract to be legal document.
• “Contract” means “Proof of Agreement”
* Notice there are many definitions for now
5
6. Proof of Agreement ?
• Legally enforceable agreement is difficult to write.
• However, we need a lot of agreements in a daily
business.
• So if we have The Place to put agreements
between Things/Things, Humans/Things,
Humans/Humans, our life will be easier?
6
9. Before Blockchain age
• No reliable replicated, consistent permissionless
database system.
• We need internet like replicated database system but there
were not.
9
10. After Blockchain age
• Now we have reliable time-ordered distributed
permissionless database like internet.
• Bitcoin proves Blockchain actually works.
From:https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf10
11. Again Smart Contract is
• Smart Contract is “Proof of Agreement”
• And basically, Smart Contract is on blockchain.
• To make it more useful from just proving
agereements, agreements are wanted to be
executed on Blockchain.
11
13. How can we use smart contracts?
We have 2 choices.
Directly or Via apps.
13
14. Direct use
• Make, publish smart contracts, “Proof of Agreement” in decentralized
database.
• Trading smart contracts, sounds like trading tokens.
Proof of Agreement itself can be made, developed, traded.

16. Or Use via DApps
• DApps is short-called Decentralised Applications, and in most cases using smart contracts
• Why ? because “Proof of Agreement” should be decentralized as we talked.
• So apps using smart contracts are ?
Yes, it is better to be decentralised for “Proof of Agreement”
Here is the reference about State of DApps on Ethereum
• So the app using smart contracts are ?

18. Applications
• Financial Derivatives.
> Option trades are smart contract trades
• Insurance
> Insurances can be automated with trusted fact providers
• Voting
> Ban voting double time from one address easily. However currently it needs ID
& reputation system.
• ID & Reputation
> Economically creating ID or Reputation should be high cost.
By using smart contracts, they can be high cost.
• Crowdfunding
> Make your tokens and sell it to the crowd.

22. Government
• Will accept smart contracts as legal document ?
Or admit smart contracts as proof for legal level ?
• Generally if someone bribe the money to there, and can get more return from the
bribing, the function/ section is better to be more decentralised position,
Decentralized Centralized
Social authority
Financial system
Places for who
don’t have power
Voting system
Land registry
ID & Reputation system
Domain Name (ICANN)

23. E.g. Developing countries
>"This also gives owners of the nearly 60 percent of undocumented
land, an incentive to register their property officially.” from REUTERS

24. Regulations
• In many cases, smart contracts using cryptographic tokens, Bitcoin.
• And smart contracts will make localized rules. So one country can ban certain smart
contracts in the area.
• We focus on researches, not news, but legal information can’t be ignored in today’s
world, and is valuable to businesses.

25. Agreement for public good
• Make decentralised “Proof of Agreement”, at the same time moving from (A,
A) to (B, B) programatically. No body suffer (A, B) or (B, A) minus,
• Blockchain is good at Coordination, and Proof of Agreement.

27. Research topics
Basis
• Relationships between Identification and “Proof of Agreement”. If there are no identification
system, what is possible/impossible by “Proof of Agreement” ?
• Bitcoin/ Ethereum difference, what applications would be affected by 3 things.1.Lack of Turing
Completeness, 2. Value-Blindness,3. Lack of state, 4. Blockchain-Blindness
• Next consensus algorithm especially for smart contracts.
• Zero knowledge proof and smart contracts relationships.
• How will Pre ID & Reputation Blockchain age services be changed to Post ID & Reputation
Blockchain age services?
Usage
• Business model of pure ‘Proof of Agreement’
• Business model of Decentralised Applications which using smart contracts.
Society
• Relationships between Identification and “Proof of Agreement”. If there are no identification
system, what is possible/impossible by “Proof of Agreement” ?
• Public good implementation ideas and to what that can be implemented in the society.
• Smartcontract local regulations, such as in Japan.
29. SmartContract.com
• Allowing move Bitcoin transactions, but the programmable agreement using
NxT in order to store data. One of the NxT merit is 2 minutes block time.
• Tradin smart contracts, sounds like trading tokens.
Escrow, stabilized payment, smart property on NxT

30. Orisi
• Quorum way, have to trust some nodes, on
• Trading smart contracts, sounds like trading tokens.
Orisi is a distributed system of oracle nodes whichh validates smart contract safely.
Such contracts, unlike blockchain onu ones, can rely on external conditions ~from github.

31. Codius
• Codius stops the development, because “Codius is just a way to make decentralization
easier” ~ from Bitcoin Magazine. There are small needs for the hosting.
• Not as decentarlized because of oracle needs, even if they have significant number of
inquiries they stop the development.
Codius is an open hosting protocol. It makes it very easy to upload a program.

32. Hedgy
• They have 2 services for elimiinating Bitcoin Volatility with the use of smart derivative contracts.
1. BitForward, 2.BitLock
• 1. BitForward- Allows speculators to gain consistent exposure to the price movement of Bitcoin
without buying or selling the underlying asset.
• 2. BitLock Timelock in order to eliminate volatility, and using
various oracles to settle contracts automatically
To eliminate Bitcoin volatility using smart contracts.

38. Ethereum
• Wiki is the best place to know official information. https://github.com/ethereum/wiki
• You know many, you can write a contract easily as you write normal programming language.
• Also they have next wen3.x platform vision.
Ethereum is creating new blockchain, virtual machine, programming
language, for modular, stateful, turing-complete scripting contract platform

We have nodes!
Editor's Notes
Smart Contract is suggested by Nick Szabo in 1997 from The idea of Smart Contracts
At the time, there are problems to implement
At first
crypto graphic key for proving ownership.
tokenize any assets in real world
replicated databases
, because legal document should follow the rule which is defined by someone/org who defines it
Easy to be colluded
someone bribe the place and persuade change the contract Easy to be lost
single point of failure/ attack from outside of the world physically/internet
Easy to be attacked.
1.No one can delete it. You can imagine bittorrented your content.2.The security is proved ECDSA ( Elastic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm)
1. State based system, malicious person build many nodes for the current state and vote it.
2. Transaction based system, malicious nodes change the past transactions
So using computation power to prevent sybil attack for state based system, and order transactions by hashing previous transaction and blocks.

Smart properties
Intellectual properties
Company governance
Domain name registries
- Land registry can be colluded, but if decentralised, no threat.
- Why should we pay to the company for anonymizing my name ?
- Land registry can be colluded, but if decentralised, no threat.
But we should think about how we prevent bribing.
