ICON Smart Contract - SCORE

SCORE (Smart Contract on Reliable Environment) is a smart contract running on ICON network. A contract is a software that resides at a specific address on the blockchain and executed on ICON nodes. They are building blocks for DApp (Decentralized App). SCORE defines and exports interfaces, so that other SCORE can invoke its functions. The code is written in python, and is uploaded as compressed binary data on the blockchain.

  • Deployed SCORE can be updated. SCORE address remains the same after update.
  • SCORE code size is limited to about 64 KB (actually bounded by the maximum stepLimit value during its deploy transaction) after compression.
  • SCORE must follow sandbox policy - file system access or network API calls are prohibited.
