Zero Smart Contract Deployment refers to operating a decentralized application or protocol without directly deploying new smart contracts. This approach typically involves leveraging existing smart contract infrastructure or using off-chain computation with on-chain verification, thereby avoiding the costs and complexities associated with new contract deployment. It can reduce gas fees, simplify development, and minimize the attack surface often introduced by new, untested contract code. Such methods aim to achieve decentralized functionality with enhanced efficiency and security.
Context
The concept of Zero Smart Contract Deployment is gaining traction as developers seek to build more efficient and secure decentralized applications, particularly on networks with high transaction costs. A key discussion involves the trade-offs between this approach and traditional smart contract deployment, considering factors like flexibility, trust assumptions, and censorship resistance. Future innovations will likely concentrate on advanced cryptographic techniques and layer-2 solutions that enable robust functionality with minimal on-chain footprint.
A novel intent-based protocol uses Trusted Execution Environments and threshold cryptography to secure cross-chain asset transfers without requiring smart contracts or liquidity pools, drastically cutting costs and complexity.
