Inspiration

無為 - Wu Wei - an attitude of genuine non-action Purity, Minimalism

Computation on the EVM is costly, we take a radical approach to optimisation by minimising this.

What it does

We produce pure minimal bytecode, only the stop execution code '00' is allowed.

Challenges addressed

We wanted to address all challenges in the hackathon at once

  • Sustainability : No computation -> reduces energy footprint, and this will scale perfectly, no matter how complex the. contract, the bytecode remains the same and has the same environmental footprint.

  • Urbanism : Don't wait for your transaction to be confirmed, it will have no effect anyway. Instead go to the park, celebrate the beauty and life of your city.

  • Smart Contract : No need to further develop the language, or look for optimisation. Formal verification is easy a simple model explains. it - STOP Contracts are perfectly secure - no execution -> no vulnerabilities

  • Cryptoeconomics : The participants in the system have no actions, and therefore no incentives and predictable behaviour. The game theory is simplified, the way to win this game is not to play.

  • Design : The Zen simplicity inherit in the notion of non-action strips away the need for complex UI / UX. Instead of a difficult to follow flow in the wallet, use a picture of a mountain top, or the ocean. Calm, clear , pure.

How we built it

We forked the solidity compiler

Challenges we ran into

Starting the project 2 hours before the deadline

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our commitment to purity

What we learned

Nothing, a mind state transition from nothing to nothing

What's next for Pure Zero

Non EVM compatible chains - The Solana chain halts so much anyway that we are half way there.
