A New Paradigm with Discoverinj

In the world of innovation in Web3 finance, it’s fair to say that Injective is leading the way by pioneering state of the art financial products…the likes of which have never been seen before.

Few months ago, there was all talk about automatic smart contracts. Now it’s a while new ballgame but it’s still about smart contracts. This time,we would be having a smart contract console, proudly brought to Ninjas by Discoverinj.

However, it’s always nice to talk about basics and so we’d see what a smart contract actually is, what it can do and why this integration of Discoverinj is important.

A smart contract is a self-executing contract that has its terms encoded directly into computer code. Because it is blockchain-based, there is no need for middlemen because the contract would be automatically enforced.

Key Features

Automation

After they are deployed, smart contracts carry out transactions on their own when certain criteria are satisfied. This allows for continuous use of the same contract as long as the commands are made by the user or dev.

Security

Because smart contracts run on a blockchain, they are impervious to tampering and benefit from the inherent security features of the underlying technology. The more secure a product or service is, the better, generally.

Immutability

The code cannot be changed once it has been deployed, guaranteeing that the terms are clear and unchangeable. This also adds to the security feature as these contracts remain available to the public to see long after they have been executed.

Trustlessness

Since the code itself ensures that the contract will be carried out, they do away with the requirement for faith in a centralized authority. A central authority gives us a weak-link that can be exploited in the case of a breach. Within a blockchain setup, this middleman is non-existent and so the code proceeds on it’s own and has less points of failure in case of a breach.

Use Cases

Now we have seen the features of smart contracts, it’d be good to see the use cases. Here are some of them

Finance

Automating payments, loans, and insurance claims with little or no intervention. Since these smart contracts are configured prior to usage, they can be made to follow set instructions which they would follow to the letter.

Supply Chain

Tracking the provenance of goods and automating logistics processes. When these processes are automated, they work more efficiently at giving the deliverables.

Real Estate

Managing property transactions, leasing, and escrow services. While there’s so much data, it’s computational abilities are next to none. This allows it to carry out these functions seamlessly.

Voting

Ensuring transparent and tamper-proof electoral processes like with governance. There are almost zero rooms for error and it’s computational abilities are also put to good use here.

It is important to note that smart contracts are usually written in code languages meaning that users/devs require some degree of code knowledge. They have revolutionized the way transactions and agreements are handled by providing a reliable, decentralized, and efficient method to enforce contractual obligations.

Why Discoverinj?

So why is discoverinj’s smart contract console making waves? Well it’s quite easy especially if you’re a pleb non-coder like me. Interacting with these smart contracts could be a difficult task especially if you’re a non coder. Where do you even start from? Yet another barrier to your Web3 entry. That’s where Injective comes in.
Well, on Injective, it’s all about providing solutions to problems and making the blockchain experience, beautiful and worthwhile.

With Discoverinj smart contract console, anyone (absolutely anyone) can interact with smart contracts on $INJ seamlessly. You don’t need to know even a single line of code to do this. It’s just like a plug-and-play mechanism. So plebs like me can actually get in on the act. There is no better feeling than this. The feeling of knowing that you wouldn’t be left behind. Best part is knowing that Injective, as a whole, is tailored to meet our growing needs and give us more opportunities to explore the world of Web3 finance.
