Smart derivative contracts are self-executing agreements for derivative instruments, where the terms and conditions are directly written into code and deployed on a blockchain. These contracts automatically execute predefined actions, such as margin calls or settlements, when specific market conditions are met, without requiring intermediaries. Smart derivative contracts enhance transparency, reduce counterparty risk, and streamline the lifecycle of complex financial products. They offer an efficient and verifiable method for managing derivatives in decentralized finance.
