Exploring the Types of Smart Contracts: The Klever Blockchain Approach

Smart contracts have transformed how transactions and agreements are executed in the blockchain world. By automating processes, eliminating intermediaries, and ensuring transparency, smart contracts drive decentralized applications across various industries. Klever Blockchain leverages these innovations to enhance trust, security, and efficiency in its ecosystem. This article explores different types of smart contracts, providing insights into how Klever integrates and optimizes them for its users.

  1. Public vs. Private Smart Contracts

Public Smart Contracts

•	Accessible to anyone on the blockchain, these contracts are fully transparent, and all participants can view their code and transactions.
•	Use Case on Klever: Public smart contracts enable decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and community governance. Users can transparently stake tokens, vote on proposals, and execute peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries.
•	Advantage: Builds trust among participants as every transaction is verifiable.

Private Smart Contracts

•	Restricted access contracts where only authorized participants can view or execute the contract terms.
•	Use Case on Klever: Businesses may use private smart contracts for confidential transactions such as supply chain agreements or data-sharing deals. Klever ensures these private interactions remain secure through encryption and permissioned access.
•	Advantage: Offers privacy for enterprises while retaining the benefits of automation.
  1. Ethereum Smart Contracts (ERC Standards)

Klever Blockchain is EVM-compatible, meaning it supports Ethereum-based smart contracts. This ensures cross-chain interoperability and allows developers to deploy dApps and tokens seamlessly. The most popular Ethereum smart contract standards include:

•	ERC-20:
•	Used for fungible tokens like cryptocurrencies (e.g., KLV or AMB tokens).
•	Use Case on Klever: Enables projects to issue tokens on Klever Blockchain, supporting liquidity, staking, and payments.
•	ERC-721:
•	Standard for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), representing unique digital assets.
•	Use Case on Klever: Supports NFT marketplaces, enabling artists and creators to mint and trade digital art or collectibles.
•	ERC-1155:
•	A multi-token standard that supports both fungible and non-fungible tokens within a single smart contract.
•	Use Case on Klever: Perfect for gaming and digital collectibles, where multiple types of tokens (like currencies and in-game assets) coexist.
  1. Multi-Signature Smart Contracts

Multi-signature (multi-sig) smart contracts require multiple participants to approve a transaction before it can be executed.

	Use Case on Klever:
•	Multi-sig wallets offer enhanced security for treasury management and joint ventures. Klever users can create wallets that require multiple parties (e.g., board members) to approve withdrawals, preventing unauthorized actions.
•	Example: A DAO can use a multi-sig contract to manage pooled funds, requiring at least 3 out of 5 participants to approve any transaction.
•	Advantage: Reduces the risk of fraud and ensures collective decision-making.
  1. Oracles and Hybrid Smart Contracts

Oracles

Smart contracts are typically limited to information stored on the blockchain. Oracles serve as bridges, allowing contracts to access off-chain data (e.g., stock prices, weather conditions, or payment status).

	Use Case on Klever:
•	Oracles can be integrated into DeFi applications to trigger transactions based on real-world events (e.g., executing a trade when a specific currency hits a target price).
•	Example: An insurance policy on Klever can automatically issue payouts when weather data from an oracle confirms a natural disaster.

Hybrid Smart Contracts

Hybrid smart contracts combine on-chain automation with off-chain data through oracles, enabling more sophisticated and real-world applications.

Use Case on Klever:
•	Businesses can deploy hybrid smart contracts for supply chain tracking, where goods are tracked on-chain, but delivery confirmations come from off-chain logistics providers.
•	Example: A contract releases payment automatically when an oracle verifies the shipment’s delivery status.
•	Advantage: Hybrid contracts enhance functionality, making smart contracts applicable in real-world scenarios.

To this end,
Klever Blockchain’s support for various types of smart contracts empowers developers and businesses to build robust solutions for finance, governance, gaming, and more.

Hello @Abbeyfx TY for your engagement and great articles written on the forum. All the Klever Community really appreciate it. :handshake:

So, only to don’t create a confusion on the users mind, the Klever Virtual Machine (KVM) isn’t compatible with the EVM hence thw user can’t deploy one ERC SC on the Klever Blockchain. However create a SM on the KVM is so easy like a EVM and, more powerful, IMO.

Thank you for sharing this insightful thread on smart contracts!

I particularly appreciated the breakdown of smart contract types, especially:

  1. Token-based contracts (e.g., KLV token)
  2. NFT contracts (e.g., digital art, collectibles)
  3. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) contracts (e.g., lending, yield farming)
