Owner-only self-destruct contract from the Ethereum Solidity tutorial. Calls suicide(owner) when the owner calls kill().
Key Facts
Description
The standard 'mortal' base contract from the official Ethereum/Solidity tutorial, deployed by Cyrus Adkisson. This is the tutorial's stock contract, not an original creation; Cyrus deployed a copy. Creation bytecode (126 bytes) reproduces byte-for-byte. Byte-identical sibling: 0xa5e57510a8e38931b13cf7e1885b587f0117eef1.
Source Verified
Creation exact (126b). Self-destructed; runtime empty on-chain, matched against EH-preserved creation.
Heuristic Analysis
The following characteristics were detected through bytecode analysis and may not be accurate.
Frontier Era
The initial release of Ethereum. A bare-bones implementation for technical users.
