## Why Use Zoe?

### For Users

**Zoe is safer.** Traditionally, putting digital assets in a smart
contract has carried the risk of losing them. But Zoe guarantees you get either
what you wanted or a full refund of the assets you put in. You will
never leave a smart contract empty-handed, even if it is buggy or malicious.

### For Developers

**Zoe is easier.** Traditionally, writing a smart contract meant
learning a new, untried language. And don't make any mistakes - if you
do, your users might lose millions.

However, you write Zoe contracts in a secure subset of JavaScript.
Moreover, Zoe automatically escrows all user digital assets and
handles their subsequent payout. **Even a buggy contract can't cause
users to lose their assets.**

::: warning TODO tone down the claims above

:::
- **Zoe is Safer for Users:** A Zoe offer guarantees that you get either
what you wanted or a full refund of the assets you put in,
even if the contract is buggy or malicious.

- **Zoe is Safer for Developers** For a given offer, if you
make a mistake with the amount of assets you take or give,
Zoe guarantees that your users will either get what they say
they wanted or get a refund.
