The workings of a generalized factory architectureThe advantages of using factories to deploy contracts can not be overlooked. Contracts deployed this way can inherit on-chain trust from their model contract, removing the need to trust a particular deployer of a contract, a key obstacle in the development and adoption process.

MotivationThere exists a duality in the nature of trust surrounding smart contracts deployed to the EVM. On the one side, the contracts themselves are entities that execute code exactly without the need to trust an entity on the other end of a transaction. On the other side, you are explicitly trusting the person who deployed that contract in the first place when interacting with it. All too often the implicit trust in the deployer of the contract can lead to real harm to users, whether throu...
