The Smart Contract Platform market cap today is $352 Billion, a 2.9% change in the last 24 hours.

Smart contract platforms are usually blockchains that host smart contracts or decentralized applications. Users can interact with different smart contracts on these platforms to perform various actions such as lending and borrowing funds, staking their assets or minting NFTs.

Smart contracts are programs that are stored on the blockchain and are automatically executed when certain conditions are met. To interact with these smart contracts, transaction fees may need to be paid and the amount and asset required will vary based on the platform’s architecture. Usually, the smart contract platform’s native token is used to pay for transaction fees. Some popular examples of smart contract platforms include Ethereum, Solana and Polygon.

Establishing a non-profit foundation to govern the protocol after Mainnet launch


How does it work?
Wallets’ owners create new transaction using secure channel either online or offline
Both wallets participate in signing the transaction using Schnorr protocol

Wallet sends transaction to node
Each transaction contains a list of Inputs and Outputs represented by Pedersen Commitments, as well as explicit fees and kernels. Each transaction also contains non-interactive zero knowledge range proof to verify that the output transaction value is positive

Transaction is verified by the node
Each transaction is verified with respect to the recent blockchain state which is stored as a Merkle Tree. The root hash of the tree is recorded in block header along with a proof of work. In addition, each node periodically creates compacted history to allow ‘fast sync’ of new and existing nodes.

Transaction is added to the mining pool
A block is mined every minute and is sent back to the node for verification and distribution.

Mined blocks containing the new transactions are sent to the known peers
A valid block that is extending the longest chain is accepted as a new Tip and propagated further until full consensus is reached.

Fast sync
When a new node connects to the network for the first time it can request compacted history containing only system state and blockchain headers. There is no need to retrieve the entire transaction history.
