A smart contracts repository for top trending contracts

Abstract

Blockchain technology spread very quickly during the last few years and has become one of the most popular trends among the research and developers community. In particular, the Ethereum blockchain is one of the most supported and used for developing smart contracts, which are informatics protocols that provide a higher level of security than traditional contracts and reduce other transaction costs associated with the bargaining practice. Nowadays, the transaction number associated with smart contracts deploying increased widely, and it is difficult for researchers and developers to keep track of programming trends. This work proposes a dataset containing only specific categories of smart contracts associated with the most popular trends of the last five years. Mainly, the proposed collection of programs contains Token and Non-Fungible-Token programs, whose popularity has increased a lot since their first appearance on the blockchain.
