Generally, the code and the agreements contained therein exist across a distributed, decentralized blockchain network. A blockchain is nearly impossible to hack or shut down. Smart contracts were proposed by Nick Szabo in 1994. Smart contracts are computerized transaction protocols that execute terms of a contract.

Likewise, alteration or any change within a smart contract is almost impossible as the whole contract is developed on the basis of coding and any error in the code can be time-consuming and expensive to correct.
