One day, Ether decided he wanted to show off his talents by performing the grand feat of “The World’s Biggest Smart Contract.” He announced it to all the other crypto coins, saying, “I’ll create a smart contract so big, so complex, that it’ll revolutionize Blockchainia!”
The other coins looked on, some skeptically, some in awe. Bitcoin gave a disinterested shrug; he wasn’t into all that “programmable” stuff. Meanwhile, Dogecoin giggled from the sidelines, muttering, “I bet he’ll break something. Much complexity. Very ambitious.”
Ether didn’t let the doubters get to him. He set up a smart contract so massive that it was designed to handle everything: transactions, voting, even letting users order pizza straight from the blockchain. “I’m the future of decentralized tech!” he boasted.
But, as you might expect, things didn’t go as smoothly as planned.
The first user tried to interact with Ether’s mega-smart contract to buy a pizza. But halfway through the transaction, he realized he’d spent more on gas fees than the pizza itself. “Well, that’s disappointing,” he muttered, munching on his overpriced blockchain pizza.
Another user tried to vote in a decentralized poll. But the contract was so complicated, it got stuck, and the entire network slowed down, like traffic in rush hour. By this time, Ether was sweating. He had accidentally made a “Gas-Guzzling Monster Contract,” and it was wreaking havoc across Blockchainia. Transactions slowed, fees skyrocketed, and users groaned.
Dogecoin laughed, “Told you, bro. Much fee. Very congestion.”
In the end, Ether had to dismantle the mega-smart contract bit by bit. He sighed and said, “Guess I still have some scalability issues to work out.” But he wasn’t too disheartened. Ether knew that someday, with a little sharding here and some rollups there, he’d make it work—just maybe not in one giant, all-powerful smart contract.
And so, Ether went back to the drawing board, a little wiser, a little less ambitious, and with a new respect for the phrase keep it simple.
