  • Publication number: 20230368291
    Abstract: A designated smart contract representation may be determined based on configuration information provided by a first database system account. The designated smart contract representation may include a binary executable representation of a smart contract template. Access to the designated smart contract representation may be provided via an application exchange in an database system. The database system may provide computing services to a plurality of entities via the internet. The plurality of entities may include a first entity associated with the first database system account and a second entity associated with a second database system account. The application exchange may provide access to a plurality of smart contract representations including the designated smart contract representation. A selection of the designated smart contract representation may be received in association with the second database system account. The binary executable representation may be deployed to a blockchain.
