A Frontier-era Greeter with the message: 'Hello World!'
Historical Significance
Part of the wave of early Greeter deployments showing real developers learning Solidity on the live Ethereum network in 2015.
Key Facts
Description
Deployed during Ethereum's Frontier era using the canonical mortal+greeter tutorial. Greeting: 'Hello World!'. Verified as an exact bytecode match.
Source Verified
Creation TX matches: compiled Greeter base (692 bytes) + ABI-encoded greeting. soljson v0.1.1+commit.6ff4cd6a, optimizer OFF.
