"Smart contracts" is a very specific name. However, as practice shows, in encoding and decoding it is simply an indispensable thing. At the same time, such smart contracts in the Ethereum network are not self-executing digital agreements, and the code itself is run only with the participation of an external source of influence. In other words, an external process is needed to run such a digital code. For example, you can run the contract Abi and encode it, or vice versa, you can decrypt the code using the HashEx website. Here everything happens very simply, quickly and most importantly for free. By the way, registration on the site is also not necessary (only if you do not plan to save the history of your encodings). The analysis of the ABI of the smart contract itself is necessary to verify the contract on Etherscan or to make a transaction to call one or another method. However, in most cases, such actions related to this code can be easily performed on HashEx. Just click site abi.h
