How GenLayer Contracts Read the Web: A Beginner's Guide to Non-Deterministic Blocks
GenLayer introduces a new type of smart contract that can interact with live web data, overcoming the limitations of traditional contracts. By utilizing non-deterministic blocks, these contracts can fetch real-time information and reach consensus among validators on varying results. This article provides a beginner's guide to understanding how these contracts function and their potential applications.
- ▪GenLayer's Intelligent Contracts can fetch live web pages and call LLMs directly.
- ▪Traditional smart contracts are limited to data provided through oracles or manual transactions.
- ▪Non-deterministic blocks allow for different outputs from validators, which are then evaluated for equivalence.

Traditional smart contracts are blind to the outside world. They can only work with data that's explicitly fed to them through oracles or manual transactions.
