    Amazing. I kind of can’t believe they built integer overflow into the etherium vm. But then I also totally can.

    Do the authors of those “contracts” have enough political clout to get a hard fork that patches & reverts or are they outside of the eth oligopoly?

      I’ve heard rumblings that they’re planning to replace the EVM with a WebAssembly based vm.

          Sorry, on my phone, don’t have a conical link, just do a search for “Ethereum webassembly” on DDG/reddit/twitter

            WebAssembly integer operations also overflow.
