It isn’t technically more challenging that most coding languages. To develop basic smart contracts, or decentralized applications (dApps), doesn’t required you to have a background in cryptography, game theory, protocol design, distributed computer networks, or anything of the like.
Is coding smart contracts hard?
Smart contract development can be hard to learn especially if you are new to the space.
How long does it take to code a smart contract?
In general it takes anywhere from two weeks (one sprint) to two months to complete Discovery. We then transition and map out the architecture for the smart contracts.
How much does it cost to code a smart contract?
Considering the factors shared above, the estimated cost for smart contract deployment could be $5,000 if you want to deploy a moderate size contract. On the contrary, the estimated cost could also turn out to be $500 if you expect to make the smart contract really small and compact.
