Some things don’t just exist on Ethereum. They define its history. Unicorn Meat 🍖 is one of them. Back in March 2016, when Ethereum was still raw and undefined, Alex Van de Sande — one of the earliest builders at the Ethereum Foundation — created Unicorn Meat. Not for speculation, but for experimentation. The original concept is still preserved here 👉 gist.github.com/alexvandesande… A month earlier, Ethereum introduced Unicorns 🦄 as a donation token 👉 x.com/ethereum/statu… Then came the twist: the Unicorn Meat Grinder — a contract that allowed users to burn Unicorns to receive Meat, submit proposals, and vote to change how the system worked. This wasn’t just a meme. It was: one of the earliest DAOs one of the first token mutation systems a primitive on-chain exchange even early bribable governance All in 2016 — before ERC-20, before CryptoKitties, before DeFi had a name. Then came the inevitable. Piper Merriam used the system exactly as designed to take over the contract and extract 5 ETH 👉 reddit.com/r/ethereum/com… Avsa responded 👉 x.com/avsa/status/71… and even linked it to the philosophy behind the DAO hack 👉 x.com/avsa/status/74… No hacks. No exploits. Just code as law. ⸻ Then it went quiet. Left untouched on-chain for nearly a decade. But history doesn’t disappear — it waits to be rediscovered. Banteg later spoke about preserving Unicorn memorabilia 👉 x.com/banteg/status/… And control of the Grinder Association eventually shifted 👉 x.com/cartoonitunes/… The story continued. ⸻ In 2025, Unicorn Meat was revived: Trading announcement 👉 x.com/unicornmeateth… LP locks 👉 x.com/unicornmeateth… Proof of the first trustless token swap 👉 x.com/unicornmeateth… 10-year anniversary 👉 x.com/unicornmeateth… 100M supply minted. Contract renounced. What was once infinite became finite — and tradable. ⸻ And then the final piece: Etherscan added a note confirming: “This token was created by Avsa of the Ethereum Foundation.” Proof 👉 x.com/cartoonitunes/… ⸻ That’s the moment it stopped being a meme. It became verified history. ⸻ Unicorn Meat isn’t DeFi. But it comes from the moment DeFi was being invented. Not a finished product — but a first sketch of an entire industry. A relic. A primitive. A living fossil. ⸻ In a space obsessed with what’s next, Unicorn Meat 🍖 proves that some of the most important things were already built years ago.

@UnicornMeatETH lfg

Ethereum guys are planning to revamp the site. This new symbology makes a lot of sense. $w🍖

this is contract for you guys can check it: 0xdfa208bb0b811cfbb5fa3ea98ec37aa86180e668

Turned $3,100 into $22.8M from the Ethereum ICO 🫡🫡 This wallet spent $3.1K to buy ETH in the ICO 10 years ago, and that stack is now worth $22.8M — over a 7,000x return :(( So now, a token deployed by ASVA from the Ethereum Foundation — could this be an opportunity?

@0xvietnguyen only me got nothing? 😭

Total airdrop distributed 2017 to now are over $30 billion And yet I only got $10 from distribute

@monad @saini_xyz1 hahaha welcome back monad

@UnicornMeatETH @avsa cook the meat

This is what the first token swap in Ethereum history might have looked like if we’d had a slick UI like Uniswap back in April 2016. Here’s the historic transaction:(@Avsa always grinding) $w🍖 etherscan.io/tx/0xd4f62ab6a…

@Yennii56 GM yenni

good morning

@0xvietnguyen well megaeth better

monad girl vs megaeth girl

@UnicornMeatETH sth huge coming

Probably the biggest NFT minting event on Ethereum history: Almost 800,000 different wallets minted the “Ten Years of Ethereum NFT” by Ethereum Foundation. etherscan.io/tokens/label/e…

@UnicornMeatETH so nice

@UnicornMeatETH hhahaa

The backstory behind this Vitalik’s famous photo: That thing it’s not 🍖, he took the unicorn horn! 🦄 $w🍖

@UnicornMeatETH @aave lets help them

The Unicorn Meat Grinder Association, as the first entity ever hacked on Ethereum, also joins the DeFi United initiative with a modest contribution. etherscan.io/tx/0xfe099808b… Glad to stand with @aave and the rest of the ecosystem responding here. DeFi United. $w🍖

"Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty” The Aave hack episode is a good opportunity to remind that the first documented hack on Ethereum took place 10y ago, on the Unicorn Meat Grinder Association (and @pipermerriam the first attacker!). $w🍖 reddit.com/r/ethereum/s/N…

@UnicornMeatETH @pipermerriam 🦄🍖

Hi @elonmusk do you think Unicorns🦄 could actually exist somewhere out there… or are they just a reflection of what humans wish was real? And if they did exist would their meat taste like something magical… or just lose its magic the moment we try to consume it?

This is from a 2016 contract… and it already have a member in this contract. On Etherscan, the Unicorn Meat Grinder shows a member entry: name: Vitalik Buterin voteWeight: 10 canAddProposals: true Stored on-chain since 2016. $W🍖 0xdfa208bb0b811cfbb5fa3ea98ec37aa86180e668
