Bytecode verified via sibling
This contract shares identical runtime bytecode with Greeter (0xfea8c4af...) which has been verified through compiler archaeology.
Deployment of the official Solidity Greeter tutorial, initialized with "Hello World!" and compiled with soljson v0.1.1.
Historical Significance
The Greeter was the first smart contract most Ethereum developers ever deployed. It appeared in the official go-ethereum wiki and across early Ethereum learning materials as the standard introduction to Solidity programming.
Key Facts
Description
Deployment of the canonical Solidity Greeter tutorial from the official Ethereum documentation. The contract uses the two-contract inheritance pattern (mortal + greeter) that demonstrated constructors, string storage, owner-restricted self-destruction via suicide(), and the constant function modifier. This instance was initialized with the greeting "Hello World!". The deployer (0x65c13da4) deployed 79 contracts between August 2015 and April 2017, including other tutorial contracts such as the Coin example, suggesting a developer systematically working through the official Solidity documentation.
Source Verified
The official Ethereum Greeter tutorial contract (mortal + greeter). Compiled with soljson v0.1.1+commit.6ff4cd6, optimizer off. 692 bytes + 96 bytes constructor arg = 788 bytes. Self-destructed.
Heuristic Analysis

Frontier Era
The initial release of Ethereum. A bare-bones implementation for technical users.
