The importance of this technology is also witnessed by the fact that not only developers and researchers are interested in understanding smart contracts, but also generic users are turning their attention to blockchain. Notably, the focus of general users is on Non-Fungible-Tokens (NFT), whose popularity spread over the last three years and has become one of the most popular trends regarding blockchain technology. The users’ interest started to apply also on social media (social networks, forums, blogs etc.), arising potentially interesting discussions about NFT and, in general, SCs programming. This work proposes an analysis of smart contract topics on Reddit and Twitter through a topic modeling approach to spot relevant arguments in users’ discussions. Starting from a dataset containing subreddits and tweets (which were analysed separately), we built a transformer model to perform our topic modeling. Our results show that Reddit has several exciting topics related to smart contracts programming, such as games, Initial Coin Offering (ICO), Crowdsales, and complex Decentralized applications building. Twitter has mainly posts related to NFT giveaways and, generally, on NFTs promotion.  \nKeywords  \nBlockchain, Smart Contract, NFT, Topic Modeling, Natural Language Processing, Token, ICO, Smart Contracts Trends  \n1. Introduction  \nThe Ethereum platform was officially launched in 2015, introducing a significant improvement and exciting innovation: Turing complete smart contracts (SC) programming. Over time, the Solidity programming language improved remarkably, allowing the development of increasingly sophisticated programs [1][2] . Indeed, in the early years of the Ethereum lifecycle, SCs’ purpose was to build gambling games, crowdfunding platforms [3], token implementation [4], and related programs [5] . Instead, Solidity evolution allows the creation of even kinds of Role Playing Games where it is possible to spend tokens to buy particular digital assets. Moreover, in 2017 Cryptokitties 1 was launched, contributing to the spread of Non-Fungible-Tokens (NFT) [6], which certifies the property of a specific digital asset. Particularly, NFTs caught the attention of Ethereum developers, researchers, and generic users; several games based on NFTs came  \nPoEM’2022 Workshops and Models at Work Papers, November 23 -25, 2022, London, UK  \n[Envelope-Open](Envelope-Open giacomo.ibba@unica.it)[ giacomo.ibba@unica.it](Envelope-Open giacomo.ibba@unica.it) (G.
