Programmable ledgers are distributed ledger technologies, such as blockchains, that can execute automated instructions or smart contracts based on predefined conditions. These ledgers go beyond simple record-keeping by allowing for the self-execution of agreements and logic. They enable the creation of sophisticated decentralized applications and financial instruments. This capability represents a significant advancement over static accounting systems.
