- What was Web 1.0?
The internet before it used Javascript and before it was considered the âworldwide webâ. Web 1.0 consisted of text, images and links on static websites. No one could chat with each other on these sites and they were simply for viewing only.
- What is a smart contract?
Small pieces of code written in Solidity and deployed on blockchains such as Ethereum. Smart contracts allow users to program their money to be taken out or put back in in a specific fashion. For example, one could program the money on their smart contract to be withdrawn automatically in five years.
- How is transparency achieved with Ethereum code?
With smart contracts, you can see all transactions, whether itâs money sent or money received. Furthermore, smart contracts can never be rewritten or tampered with in any way. Once the program is written, it stays there with no question. As with the Bitcoin network, users trust in the protocol. Thereâs no need to trust individuals one is interacting with on the Ethereum blockchain.
