# Smart Contract
# Overview
Smart contract is a programmable blockchain account, that is, under an account that stores a piece of code in the blockchain, when this account receives a transaction, it will calculate according to the built-in code and update the calculation results to blockchain database of this account.
# Contract Type
To ensure both security and flexibility, TOP AI Network provides two types of smart contracts: platform smart contract and application level smart contract.
# Platform Smart Contract
Platform smart contacts are deployed on the main-chain, and are used for scenarios involving asset transfer, elections, and on-chain governance. These contracts are written in a stack-based non-Turing complete scripting language to ensure security and enforceability. Although platform contracts are not Turing complete, they can call built-in Turing complete core functions executed by the Core VM which provides flexibility.
The functions provided by the TOP AI Network platform contract are node registration, node voting, node access, node election, and chain governance.
