While this is true that, Crypto transaction take place with the help of Blockchain technology; however, it is just a fraction of the usability of Blockchain Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are various uses of Blockchain technology which are given as below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Blockchain ~ Privacy<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the major qualities of Arbitration is quick resolution and <strong>maintaining confidentiality!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, it is apparent that there is a huge possibility of harmonious interplay of Blockchain and Arbitration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><wpil-free-highlight id=\"wpil-free-highlight\">Apart form this, Blockchain could be a boon for the legal industry; in the form of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lexforti.com\/legal-news\/explained-smart-contracts-in-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Smart Contracts<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/easycontracts.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/smart-contrat-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"smart contract blockchain arbitration\" class=\"wp-image-617\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Well. Let&#8217;s clear the air. Let&#8217;s understand, what <strong>Smart Contracts<\/strong> are and why are we talking about this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-smart-contract\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Smart_Contract\"><\/span>What is Smart Contract?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart Contract is just like any normal Contract. The only difference is that, the Smart Contracts are <strong>completely digital.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact Smart Contracts is actually a tiny computer program; which is stored inside of a Blockchain. Let&#8217;s take an example to understand how smart contracts work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you heard of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kickstarter<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/easycontracts.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/kickstarter-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"kickstarter\" class=\"wp-image-618\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kickstarter is one of the largest &#8216;crowdfunding platform&#8217;. Product team can go to Kickstarter. Create a project. Select a Funding Goal and start collecting money from others who believes in their idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kickstarter basically is a third party entity, which sits in between Product team and the supporters. This means both of them need to trust Kickstarter to handle their money correctly. Make sense. Right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a project gets successfully funded, product team expects Kickstarter to give them their money; and supporters want their money to go to project if it was funded or a refund, if it didn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the product team and supporters have to trust the Kickstarter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>But with Smart Contracts; You do not require any 3rd party entity like Kickstarter and forcibly subjected to have trust on such entity!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"let-s-understand-smart-contract\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Let%E2%80%99s_understand_smart_contract\"><\/span>Let&#8217;s understand smart contract <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We can program a smart contract, so that it can hold all received funds; until its certain goal is reached. The supporter of the project can now transfer their money to the smart contract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><font color=\"#000000\"><span style=\"background-color: rgb(225, 190, 231);\">T<\/span><\/font>he contract automatically passes the money to the creator of the project; upon the completion of funds. And if the project fails to meet the goal, the money automatically goes back to the supporter. Considering, that smart contract remains on the blockchain; everything is completely distributed. As in this technique no one is having control over this money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pretty awesome. Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But wait a second&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-shall-we-trust-smart-contracts\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_shall_we_trust_Smart_Contracts\"><\/span>Why shall we trust Smart Contracts?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, because smart contracts are stored on a blockchain; they inherit some interesting properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are <strong>immutable <\/strong>and <strong>distributed<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being <strong>immutable<\/strong> means that once a smart contract is created it can never be changed again. So no one can go behind your back and tamper with the code of your contract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being <strong>distributed<\/strong> means that the output of your contact is validated by everyone in the network. So a single person cannot force the contract to release the funds, because other people on the network will spot the attempt and mark it as invalid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tampering with smart contracts become almost impossible. Smart contracts can be applied to many different things and not just crowdfunding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-can-we-use-smart-contract\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_we_use_smart_contract\"><\/span>Where can we use smart contract? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Heard of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ethereum.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ethereum<\/a><\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/easycontracts.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ethereum-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"smart contract ethereum\" class=\"wp-image-619\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was specifically created and designed to support smart contracts.

It ensures, client&#8217;s confidentiality; and prevents any possibility of unwarranted external influences. In short, smart contracts are safe and preserve confidentiality. An ideal goal of arbitration is to ensure absolute confidentiality. Smart contracts, ensures the same. Therefore, there is a great scope of Blockchain technology in the Arbitration Proceeding.
