Hence, (among other things) all the gas passed to the `DELEGATECALL` is consumed and 0 is pushed onto the stack. As it is not valid EOF1, `DELEGATECALL` to an empty container also fails.
 
 (*Remark:* Due to [EIP-4750](./eip-4750.md), `JUMP` and `JUMPI` are disabled and therefore are not discussed in relation to EOF.)

 The value for `PC` is specified to start at 0 and to be within the active *code* section. We considered keeping `PC` to operate on the whole *container* and be consistent with `CODECOPY`/`EXTCODECOPY` but in the end decided otherwise. This also feels more natural and easier to implement in EVM: the new EOF EVM should only care about traversing *code* and accessing other parts of the *container* only on special occasions (e.g. in `CODECOPY` instruction).
 
+### EOF1 contracts can only `DELEGATECALL` EOF1 contracts
+
+Currently contracts can selfdestruct in three different ways (directly through `SELFDESTRUCT`, indirectly through `CALLCODE` and indirectly through `DELEGATECALL`). EIP 3670 disables the first two possibilities, however the third possibility remains. Allowing EOF1 contracts to only `DELEGATECALL` other EOF1 contracts allows the following strong statement: EOF1 contract can never be destructed. Attacks based on `SELFDESTRUCT` completely disappear for EOF1 contracts. These include destructed library contracts (e.g. Parity Multisig).

 ## Backwards Compatibility
 
 This is a breaking change given that any code starting with `0xEF` was not deployable before (and resulted in exceptional abort if executed), but now some subset of such codes can be deployed and executed successfully.
