How Is the Strike Price Encoded within a Smart Option Contract?

The strike price is encoded as a fixed, unchangeable variable within the smart contract's code during its initial deployment. Since the contract is immutable, this price remains constant for the life of the option.

The contract uses this encoded value as the reference point to compare against the real-time market price provided by the oracle to determine if the option should be exercised or settled.
