The @ethereum.foundation turns 10 in a month!

To celebrate, we've added a Mist Browser Simulator to the website, allowing you to experience what making fungible tokens was like in 2015.

This was how MistCoin and many of the first ERC-20 tokens were made!

Link below! 🧵

BREAKING: The original MistCoin contract code is now verified on Etherscan!

MistCoin was deployed by the Ethereum Mist team on Nov. 3, 2015 to test the ERC-20: Token Standard.

This pivotal code in @ethereum.foundation history is now visible for all to see! 🌌

When you open your wallet just to make sure the origin of all coins is still there.

MistCoin $WMC

🌌 The ERC-20 prototype and first standard coin in crypto.
🌌 Deployed by Ethereum in 2015.
🌌 The only tradable coin made by the @ethereum.foundation.
🌌 Held by $ETH founders.

The origin of every standard coin 🤯.

The coin behind every coin.

Days after ERC-20 was published and @ethereum.foundation Devcon 1 ended, @simondlr.com wrote an inspiring piece about the future of Ethereum.

Simon, a contributor to the token standard, gave a legendary talk at Devcon 1.

Recap: medium.com/@simondlr/et...

Did you know that on November 3rd, 2015, the Ethereum Mist Team deployed the first standard coin, MistCoin, along with a feature to launch standard coins in the Ethereum Wallet.

16 days later, Fabian and Vitalik proposed ERC-20: Token Standard.

Plans to bring ETH history into the fold?

MistCoin was deployed in 2015 by Ethereum to test the token standard in the Mist Browser. It’s owned by Vitalik and early Ethereum developers.

If you want to truly own a slice of blockchain history, own the origin of all ERC-20.

Own MistCoin $WMC 💠🌌

Ethereum introduced smart contracts, bringing blockchain technology to all facets of our lives.

ERC-20 brought mass adoption to crypto, and MistCoin $WMC was deployed by the team to test the concept.

Did you know that @vitalik.ca is a co-signer in the Doge-Eth Bounty which holds 50k MistCoin?

The Ethereum Foundation has created three coins, $ETH, MistCoin #WMC, and a Unicorn token. MistCoin was deployed in Nov 3, 2015 as the ERC-20 prototype.

Pure Ethereum history.

Token standards appear easy but are nearly impossible.

It took meticulous attention to detail across the Ethereum org to create ERC-20.

And then there's the whole adoption challenge!

The website now showcases work from @vitalik.ca, Fabian Vogelsteller, Gavin Wood, and @simondlr.com.

Fun fact: The first Ethereum wallet was called Mist.

Here is a picture of Alex Van de Sande presenting the Mist, the Ethereum Browser, in 11/2015, alongside @vitalik.ca, Gavin Wood, and Joseph Lubin at Devcon1.

July 30, 2015: Ethereum was launched.

Nov 3, 2015: An Ethereum dev deployed the first standard, ERC-20, MistCoin ($WMC).

Nov 19, 2015: @vitalik.ca and Fabian Vogelsteller proposed ERC-20.

Sep 11, 2017: Ethereum formalizes ERC-20.

Blockchain history 📖

MistCoin $WMC is the first ERC20 and I can buy it for $3.6m?

It was deployed by the Ethereum team?

It began what is known as the “post MistCoin” era of standardized coins?

$3.6m?

MistCoin was just listed on NonKYC!

The first ERC20, the first standard on any blockchain, deployed by the Ethereum team.

Pair: nonkyc.io/market/WMC_USDT

Pool: nonkyc.io/pool/WMC_USDT

MistCoin marked the beginning of the era of standards.

@vitalik.ca is a visionary and had been concocting these standards for years before they were put in place.
