🧠 Smart-contracts

Endless possibilities

In Democrachain, smart contracts are written in Javascript and executed in an isolated interpreter. To ensure that the network only executes valid and secure smart contracts, all contracts must start with a double slash "//" to indicate that it is a valid smart contract.

Once a smart contract is written and deployed to the network, other users can use it by referencing its hash. This is done by including the "// IMPORT SMART_CONTRACT_HASH" statement at the beginning of the block that wants to use the smart contract. The hash is a unique identifier that is generated when the smart contract is deployed to the network, and it ensures that the correct contract is executed.

By requiring smart contracts to start with a double slash and including a hash reference in blocks that use them, Democrachain ensures that all smart contracts are validated and executed securely. This approach helps prevent errors, reduces the risk of malicious attacks, and makes it easier to identify and manage smart contracts on the network. Overall, this feature adds an additional layer of security and transparency to Democrachain's smart-contract functionality.
