What is Contract API?
Contract API helps you to easily query smart contract information deployed in the blockchain environment. Using the Contract API, you can retrieve information such as the status, ABI code, and creator of the deployed smart contract. Developers can use this information to easily perform transaction requests and query requests.
What is Smart Contract?
A smart contract is a program that runs when predefined conditions are met in the blockchain. It is significant in that it is a self-executing contract that does not require an intermediary. For more information on smart contracts, check here.
