An empty Solidity contract with no state, constructor, or functions. Deployed by Vitalik, most likely as a throwaway or gas probe.
Key Facts
Description
Deployed June 23, 2016 by Vitalik Buterin (0x1db3439a22ee7c4d034e9b26437d3960b5af0517). This is an empty Solidity contract: contract Empty {} with no storage, no constructor body, and no functions. The 10-byte runtime (60606040526008565b00) is the canonical empty-contract stub emitted by the solc 0.3.x series: the free-memory-pointer prologue followed by an empty dispatcher trampoline that halts.
Runtime bytecode reproduces byte-for-byte from the reconstructed source using solc 0.3.6 with the optimizer off. solc 0.4.0 emits a different tail, pinning this to the 0.3.x line. The contract name is not recoverable from an empty contract's bytecode, so a neutral placeholder name is used.
Source Verified
Runtime bytecode (10 bytes) reproduces byte-for-byte from contract Empty {} compiled with solc 0.3.6, optimizer off. runtime sha256 4dd13cf91cd4e9c1e7c8b4f2e2b685c7b292a7d66ee574999ec4b06e8ad6a456.
Homestead Era
The first planned hard fork. Removed the canary contract, adjusted gas costs.
