SMART CONTRACTS IN BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATION IN EDUCATION
Keywords:
blockchain technology, smart contracts, consensus algorithms, blockchain technology in education, verification of student’s academic informationAbstract
Today, blockchain technology is receiving more and more attraction and research by scientists all over the world. Many applications are developed based on this technology. Smart contracts, the digital contracts stored in the distributed blockchain technology, are applied to eLearning to ensure the correctness of the student’s activities and learning processes reliably and quickly. Smart contracts are also utilized to automatically deploy the collection and submission of the end-of-course and thesis assignments. Therefore, this article will detail the basic concept of smart contracts, the creation of smart contracts, and the construction and application of smart contracts in training.
