Smart contracts explained in under two minutes. [Spoken audio]: Blockchain technology doesn't just digitize assets. It allows them to be programmed. One of the key benefits of tokenization is the ability to embed rules directly into an asset through smart contracts. A smart contract is code on a blockchain that acts like an automatic rulebook. It defines what a token is, who can own it, and how it can move without manual intervention. In traditional finance, transferring financial assets often involves contracts, approvals, reconciliations, and time. Smart contracts streamline that process. When predefined conditions are met, transactions can execute automatically. No paperwork, no middle steps, no waiting for intermediaries to reconcile records. Because the rules are built into the asset itself, they can also enable new functionality, like automatic distributions, time-based reward unlocks, or perks and access for token holders. Smart contracts don't just digitize financial assets. They change how they operate. To learn about tokenization and where the space is headed, follow along for more from Franklin Templeton, your trusted partner for What's Ahead.
