A minimal string-storage contract hardcoding the name 'Etherparty', deployed 3 times on August 8, 2015 by the same wallet that deployed SimpleStorage.
Historical Significance
Represents one of the earliest known smart contract deployments associated with a named Ethereum project (Etherparty). Shows that commercial Ethereum projects were actively testing on mainnet within hours of Frontier's launch.
Key Facts
Description
Three identical contracts deployed by 0x5947168a at blocks 55,345-55,355 on August 8, 2015 - the same deployer who deployed 4 SimpleStorage tutorial contracts minutes later. The contract stores a single string 'Etherparty' and exposes a get() function returning it. The 'Etherparty' name references an early Ethereum platform from Canada focused on smart contract creation tools. The deployer received 1.182 ETH from a genesis-funded wallet, suggesting they were a developer testing or demonstrating the platform's tooling on Frontier Day 1.
Source Verified
All 3 contracts are byte-for-byte identical (499 bytes). Compiled with soljson v0.1.1+commit.6ff4cd6a, optimizer OFF.
