# Smart Contract Automation

Demetric utilizes smart contracts, which are self-executing agreements powered by blockchain technology, to automate cost settlements. Smart contracts eliminate the need for manual intervention and ensure accurate and transparent transactions. Advertisers and traffic providers can rely on the automated process to receive fair and timely payments, reducing financial disputes and administrative overhead.
