Blockchain Divination

Use the Blockchain Explorer in the Burning Ring of Fire to investigate the contracts and transactions on the chain. At what address is the KringleCoin smart contract deployed? Find hints for this objective hidden throughout the tunnels.

Challenge Difficulty 4/5

 

As we progress through the game’s next challenge after buying a hat with Kringlecoin, we are being asked to investigate the contracts and transaction on the chain and the question asking us to find the address of the KringleCoin smart contract deployment.Before we proceed further a quick familiarisation of different terminologies used here

 

Transaction – any transfer that has occurred from one wallet to another that gets recorded. Can eb submitted to any node in the blockchain network which gets broadcasts so that all node see the transaction.

Smart contract – executable programs that are written in high level languages to represent a logic or criteria. Ethereum first introduced smart contract support allowing more innovations to happens in this space

Blockchain transaction – has a assigned smart contract function, payload that has the input values to the function call signed by the submitter 

 

A key learning being “Before a smart contract can process transactions, it must first be deployed on the blockchain”

So lets take a look at the very first transaction in this blockchain and see if it answers the question

 


This transaction creates a contract.

"KringleCoin"

Contract Address: 0xc27A2D3DE339Ce353c0eFBa32e948a88F1C86554
