Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, we dig into what the term smart contract means with our guest James Prestwich. First introduced in 1994 by Nick Szabo, smart contracts have inspired whole ecosystems of companies and projects to start thinking about blockchain in much bigger terms.

We explore what the term 'smart contract' means, where it comes from, some use cases and some of the new challenges that come along with it.
