A Smart Contract is a program stored on the blockchain that runs automatically when certain conditions are met. No middlemen, no delays.

🔹 Smart → Executes actions (like payments or approvals) only if conditions are met.
🔹 Contract → Acts like a digital agreement that can’t be tampered with once deployed.
🔹 Trustless → You don’t need to “trust” a person, only the code.

Key Features:

Transparency – Anyone can inspect the code.

Automation – Executes tasks instantly.

Security – Hard to change once live.

💡 Think of it as a vending machine: you put in the right amount, and it automatically delivers.
