1: Chainlink (blockchain oracle): Reveals how Chainlink enables smart contracts to interact with realworld data securely.

2: William Entriken: Introduces the coauthor of ERC721, vital to smart contract token standards.

3: Avalanche (blockchain platform): Explores Avalanche’s speed and its role in scalable smart contract environments.

4: Hedera (distributed ledger): Details Hedera's consensus model and its secure smart contract integrations.

5: Decentralized autonomous organization: Examines DAOs as the next step in transparent, codegoverned political systems.

6: Hyperledger: Unpacks Hyperledger's enterprisegrade blockchain tools for smart contract deployment.

7: Augur (software): Demonstrates how prediction markets can inform smart contract outcomes.

8: Ethereum: Covers Ethereum’s role as the foundational platform for smart contracts.

9: 0x (decentralized exchange infrastructure): Highlights 0x's protocol for decentralized trading via smart contracts.

10: Tron (blockchain): Showcases Tron’s efficiency in content distribution via smart contracts.

11: Testnet: Explains testnets as vital environments to simulate and perfect smart contracts.

12: Smart contract: Defines smart contracts and their autonomous, trustless functionality.

13: Cardano (blockchain platform): Discusses Cardano's unique approach to formal verification of smart contracts.

14: Decentralized application: Introduces DApps and their dependence on robust smart contract backends.

15: ERC721: Details the nonfungible token standard powering identity and ownership in contracts.

16: Ethereum Classic: Presents Ethereum Classic as a philosophical and technical divergence in smart contract logic.

17: Polkadot (blockchain platform): Explores Polkadot's interoperability and its role in crosschain smart contracts.

18: Polygon (blockchain): Highlights Polygon’s scalability layer for Ethereumbased smart contracts.

19: Uniswap: Explains how Uniswap automates trading via smart contract liquidity pools.

20: Astar Network: Describes Astar’s support for multichain smart contract development.
