help Aeternity FAQ
What programming language does Aeternity use for smart contracts?
Aeternity uses Sophia, a strongly typed functional smart-contract language in the ML family. Sophia contracts run through the FATE virtual machine and can use Aeternity features such as oracles and state channels.
What are state channels on Aeternity?
State channels let participants exchange signed updates off-chain and settle the final result on the blockchain. Opening and closing a channel still involve on-chain transactions, so they are a scaling method rather than a way to eliminate the main chain.
How do Aeternity oracles work?
Oracles connect smart contracts to outside information, such as a reported event or data feed. Aeternity treats oracle support as a built-in blockchain concept alongside Sophia contracts, names, and state channels.
Does Aeternity make every transaction instantly final?
No. Aeternity emphasizes fast private activity through state channels, but ordinary on-chain transactions and channel settlement still depend on the blockchain's confirmation process.
