In the next section, we will discuss the operational mechanism of smart contracts in detail..
..
Based on this life-cycle, we propose a basic research framework of smart contracts.
..
The framework also refers to several previous literatures. For example, Risius and Spohrer [9] presented
..
The details are as follows.
..
This section will take finance, management, IoT, and energy as examples to introduce the application scenarios of smart contracts.
..
In this section, we will introduce the future development trends of smart contracts from three aspects, namely, formal
..
As mentioned earlier, smart contract faces many challenges, e.g., poor performance, inability to handle complex logic execution and high-throughput data,
..
These arguments signify that Fintech usage possesses certain risks and benefits for customers,
..
Previously, some studies have been conducted to assess the concept of Islamic Fintech
..
These studies conclude that Fintech is closely connected to Sharia because it reduces two risk factors, namely, leverage and uneven maturity. Moreover,
..
During our literature review, we also found limited studies in Islamic Fintech, particularly Islamic Fintech adoption
..
The disruption to Islamic finance due to Fintech has emerged the importance of technology in Sharia compliance financial system (Miskam et al.,2019).
..
Earlier studies also discussed the benefits of Fintech and concluded that Fintech benefits play an important role in..
..
Moreover, Kim et al. (2010) stated that convenience and accessibility are the key benefits for Fintech users.
..
In past studies, Pavlou (2003) reported that
..
In earlier studies, it was shown that
..
Based on theoretical underpinning and empirical evidence, this study posits that
..
This research draws upon the concepts driven from the theory of perceived risk (TPR), perceived benefit and trust to generate..
..
he integration of risk, benefit and trust may provide a comprehensive set of knowledge to examine user adoption of Islamic Fintech.
..
On the one hand, past studied already developed
..
Additionally, Taylor and Todd (1995) also highlighted the importance of
..
Accordingly, we used perceived benefit and trust in the research model to predict user intention.
..
he word Fintech consists of two aspects, namely, “financial” and “technology.”
..
Furthermore, Fintech is operated by a third party like a bank or any other approved institution,
..
categorized Fintech into five major areas, namely, venture capital and crowdfunding (finance and investment), electronic
..
Two types of start-ups are relevant to this research
..
Currently, applications of smart contracts are springing up.
