Contract Accounts (CAs)

Definition

Contract Accounts (CAs) refers to the pattern of blockchain accounts that are controlled by smart contract code rather than private keys, often through blockchain technology, tokenization, and decentralized governance systems.

Core Concepts

  • Contract Accounts: Accounts controlled by smart contracts
  • Smart Contracts: Code that controls accounts
  • Account Control: How accounts are controlled
  • Code Execution: Execution of account code
  • Decentralized: Not controlled by central authority

Technical Mechanisms
