For instance, if an event was cancelled, ticket holders could be issued a refund automatically.

Advocates for the blockchain typically extol the idea of smart contracts, claiming that having contract terms embedded in code can make businesses run smoother. Yet skeptics rightly point out that, as with any computer code, bugs can occur. And poorly coded smart contracts could cause major problems. Github, a site used by programmers, features a section on the best practices for smart contracts.
