What are smart contracts?

A smart contract is a contract in the form of computer code that is executed on the Ethereum blockchain when certain conditions are met. Smart contracts can facilitate the exchange of money, content, property, shares, and almost everything that has measurable value.

What makes smart contracts unique is the fact that they can't be broken or falsified since they are coded and immutable when deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. They also eliminate most intermediaries in any deal, involving the exchange of money or property, since they are entirely digital.
