Add a Smart Contract Set

By using smart contract sets, you can add business logic to your application.

Smart contract sets are programs that run on the blockchain and define the rules of your use case. They are self-executing with an 'if this, then that' pattern and activate when predefined conditions are met, such as a smart contract that transfers the ownership of a car once a certain amount of money is transferred to the seller's account.

To expedite the process of writing and deploying smart contracts, we offer a template library and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The template library includes pre-built smart contract sets for specific use cases, which are easily customizable to match your needs.

How to Add a Smart Contract Set​

Navigate to the application where you want to add the smart contract set. Ensure you have a network with a node in place.

Click Smart Contract Sets in the left navigation, and then click Add a Smart Contract Set. This opens a form.
