The Ethereum Alarm Clock entry point, which creates one contract per scheduled call

Historical Significance

This deployment documents the rapid iteration cycle of early Ethereum infrastructure projects. Three months after its initial launch, the Ethereum Alarm Clock was already undergoing a full system redeployment, demonstrating how quickly developers identified and addressed shortcomings in their smart contract designs. The cluster deployment pattern (five contracts in minutes) is characteristic of modular smart contract system launches in the 2015 Frontier era.

Context

Deployed in December 2015 on the Frontier chain by the account behind the Ethereum Alarm Clock, which deployed the whole system from one address. It reproduces exactly at the released solc v0.1.6+commit.d41f8b7c with the optimiser on, but Etherscan cannot verify it: the link time library addresses cannot be supplied for compilers of this vintage.

Description

The public face of the Ethereum Alarm Clock. A contract that wants to be called at a future block calls the scheduler with the target block, the gas to forward, the payment and the call data, and the scheduler deploys a dedicated call contract funded with the ether it was sent. It keeps the queue of upcoming calls in an ordered index so that callers can find what is due, and it holds the default fees and the window in which a call may be claimed. The scheduling logic is in the linked SchedulerLib and the ordered index in GroveLib.
