As I know, in ETH, when a contract would be useless, it could be destroyed by using the "selfdestruct" action. So, is there any same method to remove a useless contract from the eos blockchain?

As of v1.3.0, it is now possible to delete the smart contract from an account using the --clear flag ($ cleos set contract <account> --clear)

There isn't a selfdestruct action, but there is a setcode action. A contract can use that to destroy itself like in this example.

  • thanks for your help man, but this method is using dead code to cover the contract byte, right ? is it too heavy for a contract developer to do that ?

    Correct. It's hard to judge too heavy right now until the ram market is active.
