    Blockchain can’t store an entire contract (not within reason).

    What do you mean by this? I don’t work directly with blockchain, but it appears Eth has a 12MB block limit, which is 10,000 pages of simple text.

      A block isn’t a single transaction. It’s way too inefficient to scale that way

      A block is a group of transactions

        Sure, that makes sense, so it looks like each contract could only be 20 pages of text, at least per transaction.
