These technologies enable trustless, transparent, and automated systems that operate without intermediaries. From finance to supply chain management, smart contracts, and DApps are revolutionizing industries by providing decentralized solutions to traditional problems. This chapter will explore what smart contracts and DApps are, how they work, their benefits, challenges, and real-world use cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading jusfy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Smart_Contracts\"><\/span><strong>What Are Smart Contracts?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading jusfy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Definition\"><\/span><strong>Definition<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"jusfy\">A <strong>smart contract<\/strong> is a self-executing program that runs on a blockchain.
