RE: a new history tool for Steem Smart Contracts in test
Hi there!
I hope you don't mind me asking, and apologies if this a rather dumb question, but to what extent are these smart contracts comparable to others like on Ethereum or Tron?
Are they true "smart contracts"? How many exist right now, and how do you deploy one?
I think I'm just a little confused because people might be calling things that aren't technically smart-contracts, smart contracts.
Steem-Engine doesn't have a consensus layer yet, so technically they are note the same as other smart contract blockchains. You could run a node and verify that the operations registered on the steem blockchain are correctly interpreted. According to their team they will add the consensus layer in the future. Until then I guess we can call them quasi smart contracts.
