Economy Monitor Guide to Smart Contracts - ebook

Although the interest around smart contracts is generally defined in a narrow way, centered in applications terms such as Bitcoin contracts, Ethereum contracts or Smart Contracts Bitcoin, or even just in technical trading aspects such as Ethereum price, in reality the field is more diverse. A number of companies and non profit organizations are serving governments, institutional and private clients implementing distributed ledger technology. In this accessible book, we present the detailed corporate profile of several smart contracts companies, their trading and social network volumes, and provide a gentle introduction to smart contracts examples. ECONOMY MONITOR Guide to SMART CONTRACTS offers a demonstrably effective way to diversify risk when investing in cryptocurrency securities by focusing on companies that are offering products with actual demand in the real economy. The book is also useful for managers seeking to learn about vendors of fintech, blockchain, and computable contracts technology.
