Claude recovers lost 2019 build paths to recompile MakerDAO's DAI to an exact bytecode match
devanshmehta · x · 2026-10-09
Mainnet $DAI was only a partial match on Sourcify because the 2019 build paths were lost. Using Claude, the developer dug through MakerDAO's old nix build, re-evaluated the dss-deploy closure in Docker, recovered 19 /nix/store remappings, and recompiled.
DAI is now an exact match — a byte-for-byte reproduction of the deployed contract.
