Introducing dETH — The Undead Ethereum Token

dETH is a Halloween experiment on the blockchain: a new token that represents the death of ether.

Put simply, dETH is a provably dead token.

HOW DETH WORKS

ETH sent to this smart contract is irrevocably killed and removed from the
economy. It is not just burned, it is dead.

This is accomplished by transferring ETH to Hades, a self-destructing
smart contract that sends ETH to itself during self-destruction. The dead
eth isn’t just inaccessible, it literally ceases to exist.

GET DETH

Get dETH by sending .01 ETH or more to 0xF1ADc3C1cfD4181312185D9Ef3fbe3CE1a7cdE4e

Important: include a gas limit of least 150,000.

TOKENOMICS

The price of dETH increases by .1% with each purchase from this smart contract.

This simple bonding curve incentives destroying large amounts of ETH in each
transaction to lock-in the lowest possible price.

Plus, receive a 30% bonus by destroying 3 eth or more.
