The participant at each node of the network can access the recordings shared across that network and can own an identical copy of it. 7 https://www.investopedia.com/

state) that resides at a specific address on the Ethereum blockchain. Smart contracts are programs stored on a blockchain that run when predetermined conditions are met. A smart contract is an agreement between two people in the form of computer code. The transactions are processed automatically without a third party. A smart contract is a self-executing contract with the terms of the agreement between buyer and seller being directly written into lines of code. Smart contract definitions 10

to govern the behaviour of accounts within the Ethereum state Solidity is a curly-bracket language influenced by C++, Python and JavaScript Solidity is statically typed, supports inheritance, libraries and complex user-defined types among other features 30
Everyone can read entries in the database just by participating in the network. If you want to change something in the database, you have to create a transaction which has to be accepted by all others. A transaction is a message that is sent from one account to another account. It can include binary data (which is called “payload”) and Ether. 33
database in a consistent state. Example: Money transfer transaction account1.balance = account1.balance - sum account2.balance = account2.balance + sum A transactional system would make both entries pass or both entries would fail. 34
address space: • External accounts that are controlled by public-private key pairs (i.e. humans) • Contract accounts which are controlled by the code (smart contracts). Every account has a balance in Ether, which can be modified by sending transactions that include Ether. The two types of accounts are treated equally by the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Ethereum accounts 35
EVM is completely isolated, which means that code running inside the EVM has no access to network, filesystem or other processes. Smart contracts have limited access to other smart contracts. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) 38
