Input and State

At the heart of Zentra’s functionality lies the concept of input and state, modeled using a state machine. While this concept might sound complex, it is straightforward to understand in practice.

State Machine Representation: A blockchain can be viewed as a state machine, where the state represents the current condition of the system, and transitions between states are triggered by inputs.

Input: Users submit transactions as inputs, which are processed by the blockchain system to modify its State. Each transaction provides instructions that drive these state transitions.
Deterministic State Changes: State machine ensures that state changes are deterministic, meaning that given the same inputs and current state, the state transition will always produce the fixed new state under the fixed State Transfer Function.

In blockchain, this concept corresponds to:

Input → Transaction: A transaction serves as the input to the blockchain, triggering state changes. For example, a user sending a transfer or executing a function in a smart contract.
State → Global State: The global state represents the collection of all accounts and smart contract storage on the blockchain. When transactions are executed, the blockchain’s global state updates accordingly.
State transition function → Smart Contracts: When a transaction (input) is applied to the current global state, the smart contract executes predefined logic, updating the blockchain's state and producing a new global state.
