GasLiteBirth

GasLiteBirth — A minimal, gas-optimized Solidity smart contract that records its own creation details on-chain. Every deployment becomes a unique digital “birth certificate.”

Description

# 🪶 GasLiteBirth

GasLiteBirth is a minimal, gas-optimized Solidity smart contract that records its own creation details on-chain.

Each deployment is unique — it stores the deployer’s address, block number, timestamp, and a unique “birth hash” fingerprint.

---

## 💡 Overview

This project demonstrates how a smart contract can self-document its own creation using blockchain metadata — all while remaining extremely gas-efficient.

Every time you deploy GasLiteBirth, it automatically:

- Records who deployed it creator)

- Logs when it was created birthTime)

- Captures which block it was born in birthBlock)

- Generates a unique fingerprint birthHash)

No inputs, no functions, no interaction required — just pure on-chain identity.

---

## ⚙️ Features

- Beginner-Friendly – Simple, readable Solidity.

- Unique Each Deployment – No two contracts have the same hash.

- Gas-Optimized – Uses immutable variables and compact types.

- Instantly Works – No user input or configuration required.
