Minimal ETH sweeper, first of 1,900 identical deployments in a 2-day burst in January 2018. All sweep to a single hardcoded destination. Source verified by EthereumHistory.
Key Facts
Description
This contract is the first of 1,900 identical ETH sweepers deployed in a tight 2-day window (January 23-25, 2018) by a single deployer (0x4dcee5d5cbcd37cacb262290d40bec3bf61d07ec). Each contract has a single function - a payable fallback that immediately transfers the entire ETH balance to the same hardcoded destination address 0xd293a88c7ef49dad48b58bdf87a426ffaab338d4. There is no owner check and no other functions; the sweep destination is baked into the bytecode and cannot be changed.
The source was reconstructed and matches the on-chain runtime code byte-for-byte (102 code bytes) when compiled with solc 0.4.15 optimizer ON runs=200. Only the trailing 34-byte Swarm/CBOR metadata hash differs because the exact whitespace and comment formatting of the original source is not preserved; that formatting-only delta is Etherscan-tolerated on a source submission.
