Smart contract end users span a variety of sectors including finance, insurance, government, supply chain, health care, and many others.
“Luxcore’s blockchain provides a unique opportunity due to its forward-compatibility and sustainability relative to other smart contract platforms,” said Erick C. “As an advisor, I will work with Lux personnel to leverage that positioning and make Luxcore a leader in the smart contract space.”

He has also served as a director of the Monetary Unit (MUE) cryptocurrency and participated in early ideation and development of Helium Blockchain’s construction sector focus. He also serves an advisory role for a handful of other smaller projects.
The seat once held by John McAfee on Luxcore’s Senior Advisory Committee has been left empty since McAfee’s appointment as Luxcore CEO. Erick C.’s appointment to the committee is a clear signal that Luxcore is prioritizing the development and implementation of its nascent smart contract platform.
Since its inception, the global smart contract market has been growing alongside continually-increasing adoption of blockchain technology. According to a recent report published by the Market Research Future, the global market for smart contracts is expected to reach approximately $300 Million USD by the end of 2023 with 32% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the period from 2017 to 2023.
Smart contracts are a crucial element of Luxcore’s ultimate goal of creating and supporting enterprise-class blockchain products and services. With a strong and secure smart contract protocol, Luxcore aims to become a platform upon which multiple end users can build their products and dApps, while forging robust agreements supported by blockchain consensus.
