What is a smart contract, and how can you deploy it using Java?
A smart contract is a contract written in a blockchain's native language, like Solidity. Java is not directly involved in deploying smart contracts.
Thatâ€™s incorrect. While Solidity is commonly used, Java can still interact with smart contracts through libraries like Web3j.
Can you explain how Java can communicate with the Ethereum blockchain to deploy and execute smart contracts?
