<p>I'd be interested to see some examples of <a href="https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Contracts">Bitcoin contracts</a> used right now.</p>

<ul>
<li>Websites that provide escrow services.</li>
<li>Smart properties.</li>
<li>Trading of contracts.</li>
<li>Oracles.</li>
</ul>

<p>Or are they not really in use right now?</p>

There's a system of distributed oracles that launched last month - http://oracles.li/ , with a whitepaper available here: https://github.com/orisi/wiki/wiki/Orisi-White-Paper . Right now the test oracles allow for timelocking bitcoins, and there are other transaction / contract types coming soon, hopefully.

I'd be interested to see some examples of [Bitcoin contracts](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Contracts) used right now.

* Websites that provide escrow services.
* Smart properties.
* Trading of contracts.
* Oracles.

Or are they not really in use right now?

**Tags:** contracts
