In this document, a review is carried out that will reveal what smart contracts are, their advantages, their characteristics, as well as the state in which they are currently and the different applications that they have had so far. development with this blockchain-based technology. So far, smart contracts have had a very large impact worldwide, since they are contracts developed so that they can be executed automatically once the different parties have determined the terms that must be met. We surely see this as something distant, due to how many contracts are still carried today, in the typical paper that we must sign and enforce. So, what could we have or do to make the contracts run by themselves? It is a question that we will solve in the course of the article. Although we have that smart contracts are a little different from the common contracts that we all know, both are contracts in which two or more parties are involved and must meet certain conditions for this to be fulfilled. However, smart contracts are applications or a decentralized code where one of their characteristics and differences with the typical contracts signed on paper is to save the need for intermediaries, such as lawyers. In addition to the fact that these are safer and faster in terms of their execution, several studies are currently being carried out and many of the industries worldwide are adopting these contracts as an option to see the advantages and the impact that this new technology is generating worldwide.
