Update smart contracts index.md#7759
Conversation
As it was, much of this piece seemed to be trying to pitch people on the idea of smart contracts, and given the venue, I think straightforward explanation is more appropriate. I removed some of the sales-y language and also removed rhetorical devices (e.g. the text suggesting what the reader thinks -- I for one was *not* thinking what the text suggested about contracts ;)). Also, the lead sentence should say what smart contracts *are* rather than emphasizing their importance or place in the ecosystem. Last, I rejiggered some of the passive voice sentences . Enjoy 😃

Thanks for your work on this @setgree. There were a range of opinions on various parts of the page and it seemed to be going a bit stale, so I've made some decisions on it to get it moving. Approving now.

Sorry for delays here @setgree! Circled back, pushed an adjustment to address @samajammin's comments, and added the H1 back in which is required on pages that use the default markdown template. Merging on build finish.. thanks again! |

Glad to hear it! If there are any more pages that need some attention, I
would be happy to take a look.
