We'll explore the building blocks of blockchain-based smart contracts that power Real-World Asset tokenization. Smart contracts are self-executing agreements with the terms directly written into code, enabling trustless transactions without intermediaries. They form the backbone of RWA tokenization by automating ownership transfers, rights management, and compliance.

By the end of this lesson, you will:

• Understand smart contract fundamentals and execution environments
• Recognize Solidity's core syntax and data structures
• Identify security considerations in smart contract development
