Contract state transitions refer to the changes in the data and variables stored within a smart contract on a blockchain as a result of executing its programmed functions. Each valid transaction that interacts with a smart contract causes a predictable alteration of its internal state. These transitions are recorded on the ledger, ensuring transparency and auditability.
