Understanding NexScript Smart Contracts on Nexa
In this article we explained how NexScript Smart Contracts function through the Template Model. This innovative approach separates contract logic from key parameters, offering benefits in security, flexibility, and reusability. Unlike traditional Ethereum-based contracts, Nexa’s UTXO-based network ties smart contracts directly to UTXOs, offering developers unique opportunities and challenges.
Article walked through creating a time-locked contract, demonstrating how the NexScript language simplifies smart contract development. This model makes it easier to build complex contracts like covenant contracts and opens up the ability to verify contracts via template hashes.
For a more technical reading you can refer to the full article and start experimenting with NexScript on testnet playground before deploying to mainnet.
