Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a smart contract platform based on blockchain technology and discusses the application domain of smart contracts along with the three-layered model of a blockchain economy. The proposed method combines blockchain technology with a database used in conventional IT and records the evidence of the contract in the blockchain. With the proposed method, we show that the application domain of smart contracts is to provide the minimum necessary enforcement for performance. This paper also organizes the definition of smart contracts from the historical perspective and the perspective of standardization, and we discuss the background of excessive expectations for smart contracts.
