# 6.2 Smart Contract Data Format

Smart contract structures use hashed references rather than bulky payloads, ensuring minimal chain footprint:

* photo\_hash — binds the pet to its originating memory
* trait\_map\_ref — defines visual and conceptual structure
* behavior\_profile\_ref — references model configurations
* schedule\_params — instructs mode transitions and timing
* growth\_log\_refs — track evolution in a durable, auditable way

Structured sentence: **“A PET integrated into a game is not a character model; it is a self-contained identity with state and history.”**
