I've been reverse-engineering Ethereum's earliest smart contracts — here's what I found locked inside them

For the past few months I've been building EthereumHistory.com, a project to document every notable smart contract from Ethereum's earliest days (2015-2017). Think of it as a Wikipedia for Ethereum's contract archaeology. Recently I did a...

I tried to access compound.finance, and when connecting wallet it warns me the domain has very low popularity. I carefully review it and found out when launching app, it actually got redirected to app.compoond.finance, which is extremely sketchy. I t...

Wrapping USDT

I propose to wrap USDT, since currently it is a highly outdated coin, and its transfer function has issues, and doesn't have new features, and only has 6 decimals. While these issues may not be large now and can be easily fixed or do not lose too...

New ways to track verification proofs for source code of Ethereum's earliest contracts

Yesterday I posted about verifying Vitalik's first token contract and got a great response. A few people asked how to follow along as more proofs are published, so I set up two places to track them: GitHub: awesome-ethereum-proofs - each proof h...

Minimmit vs Casper FFG

One important technical item that I forgot to mention is the proposed switch from Casper FFG to Minimmit as the finality gadget. To summarize, Casper FFG provides two-round finality: it requires each attester to sign once to "justify" the b...

We verified Vitalik's 2015 token contract and discovered it wasn't compiled with Solidity - it's Serpent

I've been working on verifying source code for the oldest contracts on Ethereum, and this one took days to crack. The contract: 0xa2e3680acaf5d2298697bdc016cf75a929385463 Deployed by Vitalik on November 12, 2015 (block 530,996). It's a token...

ZK VMs made verifiable computation accessible to any developer. The prover networks running them require your full plaintext data. YIKES

Zero-knowledge cryptography went through three phases. First: hand-crafted arithmetic circuits, only accessible to deep researchers. Second: ZK virtual machines — suddenly any developer could write verifiable code in Rust or C. Third: prover networks...
