An Ethereum smart contract is a program that runs on Ethereum. A smart contract runs exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud, and third-party interference.
The main advantage of using Ethereum to run smart contracts is that it makes it easy for smart contracts to interact with each other. Also, you don't have to worry about integrating consensus protocol and other things; instead, you just need to write the application logic. Obviously, you cannot build any kind of DApp using Ethereum; you can build only those kinds ...
