In october 2015, three months after ethereum launched, @VitalikButerin deployed an on-chain advertising platform. 8 ad slots. 4 different auction types. the whole system compiled in solc v0.1.1. I cracked the source code. exact bytecode match, 8,752 bytes. 🎉 🧵

Long overdue but I cracked the exact bytecode of @avsa’s Unicorn Meat Grinder Association. The first quadratic voting DAO on Ethereum, deployed March 2016. Now verified on Etherscan and Sourcify with full source. 🎉

Tomorrow sees the return of Early Days of Ethereum, with the much beloved Alex van de Sande (@avsa) joining us at 9am Eastern time: x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
