Smart contracts can incorporate OTP verification to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Securely authenticate transactions in real-time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevent unauthorized access and fraudulent activities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide an additional layer of security for sensitive operations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Digital Signatures<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital signatures are a key component of smart contract, providing a legally binding method of contract execution.
