摘要

摘要: 智能合约是一种无需中介、自我验证、自动执行合约条款的计算机交易协议，近年来随着区块链技术的日益普及而备受关注.区块链上的智能合约具有去中心化、去信任、可编程、不可篡改等特性，可灵活嵌入各种数据和资产，帮助实现安全高效的信息交换、价值转移和资产管理，最终有望深入变革传统商业模式和社会生产关系，为构建可编程资产、系统和社会奠定基础.本文致力于以区块链智能合约为研究对象，对已有的研究成果进行全面梳理和系统概述，提出了智能合约的基础架构模型并以此为研究框架阐述了智能合约的运行机制与基础架构，总结了智能合约的研究挑战与进展，介绍了智能合约的技术优势与典型应用领域，讨论了智能合约的发展趋势，以期为智能合约的后续研究提供参考.

Abstract: Smart contracts are computerized transaction protocols that can self-verify and self-execute the terms of contracts without a trusted third-party intermediary. In recent years, smart contracts have attracted intensive attention with the increasing popularity of their main computational architecture, i.e., blockchain. Blockchain-enabled smart contracts are decentralized, trustless, programmable, and tamper-resistant, they can be flexibly embedded into a variety of data and assets to help achieve secure and efficient information exchange, value transfer and asset management. Thus, they are expected to deepen the revolution of traditional business models and social production relationships, and lay the foundation for building programmable assets, systems and societies. This article is dedicated to a comprehensive analysis and systematic overview of blockchain-enabled smart contracts. Specifically, we proposed a basic model of smart contracts which employs a six-layer architecture and used it as a research framework to explain the operating mechanism and infrastructure of smart contracts. We also summarized their research challenges and recent progresses, introduced their technical advantages and typical application fields, and discussed their future development trends. This article is aimed at providing helpful guidance and reference for future research efforts of blockchain-enabled smart contracts.
