# MetaContract

## INTRODUCTION

MetaContract is based on the contract framework of the MVC chain UTXO model. Compared with the mainstream global state-based contract model, it has the following advantages:

* #### SCALABILITY

Different UTXO contracts can be executed and verified in parallel in MVC nodes, so the multi-core advantages of modern computers can be effectively used to greatly improve the execution speed of contracts. The TPS of the entire MVC processing contract is greatly improved.

* #### LOW LATENCY

Thanks to the zero-confirmation feature of MVC, the contract execution can return the execution result after TX reaches the memory of the miner node without waiting for confirmation.

* #### SAFETY

Due to the chain dependency of the UTXO contract, the TX execution sequence of the same contract can be guaranteed, thereby removing the possibility of MEV _(miners extracting value_). At the same time, because the way UTXO contracts call each other is different from the global state-based contracts, some security issues such as reentry will not occur on MetaContract.
