Smart contracts are digital or virtual contracts. It does not need a third party and can perform without them. Smart contracts control the transfer of digital currencies or assets between parties but with certain conditions. A smart contract does not only include the rules, regulations, and penalties related to an agreement just the same way a traditional contract does, but it can also automatically execute those commitments. It is transparent and also accessible to both parties. None of the party can tamper it and even if they try to then the other party will automatically get informed.

Reduced Costs

Some financial institutions that provide cross-border exchanges, charge high transaction costs. It also involves middle-men or mediator to monitor and keep a check on the operations.

With blockchain, you do not need a third person to monitor and it will not even matter that you trust the other party because there is no room for any kind of fraud with this technology. The removal of middlemen leads to a reduction in costs.

Quality Assurance  

Blockchain assures quality providing the facilities of safety and security. It is very much essential for the organizations and industries to work efficiently, without any error or mistake, to maintain and upgrade their functioning. If any fault or error is found,
Blockchain will be able to trace it from the starting and after researching, necessary steps could be taken to fix it.
