MistCoin | Origin of ERC-20

One week before this panel, @feindura had deployed MistCoin, the first prototype of the token standard. And week after this it panel, @feindura @VitalikButerin proposed the ERC-20 standard. $WMC

And this is the first “asset” that showed up in a Ethereum wallet ≠ ethereum:native. MistCoin demonstrated that anyone can deploy digital assets on a blockchain and make them interoperable with each other. $WMC

There will be ups There wil be downs But MistCoin will always be here, as long as Ethereum keeps producing new blocks. $WMC

So we have it, the first MistCoin transaction in 2026! 2015 ✅2016✅2017✅2018✅2019✅2020✅2021✅2022✅2023✅2024✅2025✅2026✅ etherscan.io/tx/0x72ca73239… The only token on Ethereum transacted every year since 2015. Once again, @0xzxch was the fastest one!

@rdbotato Hey folks, we have already won this game 😉

3k unique users on "is it OG" in a day. not the tool. the community. you guys actually show up for the tech. airdropping free chips to everyone who signed up on the site. use them to generate banners on bannr.io and more coming. as always, tg gets it first: t.me/itsfriedpotato

on eth, OG always wins. built a tool to prove it. paste any ca, it reads the chain, finds every token with the same ticker on uniswap v2, ranks by deploy date. ran it on $ASTEROID not OG. beaten by 13 minutes. still running. but receipts don't lie.

MistCoin, the prototype of a $ 600b TVL asset class. Who’s the fucking OG? $WMC

@cartoonitunes @etherscan @UnicornMeatETH @EthereumHistory Ethereum history is for everyone

Very cool to see @etherscan shipping new features and adding historic context for users. I dream of a day where Etherscan pulls in all data from Ethereum History and shares the stories with the world. Ethereum history is for everyone.

The good old days are coming again. $WMC

This is important milestone in Crypto Twitter: Probably the first time that a token on a programmable blockchain (MistCoin) was announced in this platform! $WMC

Imagine trying to hold WIF, MOG, MOODENG, or whatever memecoin came out in the last few years long term. Not gonna work. The narrative around $WAAC @AyeAyeCoin2015 and $WMC @MistCoinEth is totally different and never changes. They will never be "last cycle coins." Instead they will always be the OG eth memecoins. Both are up around 100 percent the last few weeks. People are starting to figure it out. Plus they are both microcaps no one knows about that could absolutely rip at any moment.

@SpaceLlamaNFT @AyeAyeCoin2015 🫂

So here you have it - such a historic tweet. The Ethereum team announcing the introduction of standard tokens. Really cool to see MistCoin there as the first standard token, along with the Reddit thread where $MC was initially distributed (“free to claim”). A strong resemblance to the most iconic crypto collectible - but two years earlier. $WMC

#Ethereum Wallet Beta 3 released - Including contract deployment and token support! reddit.com/r/ethereum/com…

@cobie @lyvidian1 Almost as old as MistCoin, but ofc you don’t know what the heck is MistCoin

@lyvidian1 The tweet is over 10 years old

We are so down bad that Cobie is engagement farming Elon bucks on X

All I have to say is: “We need to bring back Mist.”

If you want exposure to OG collectibles but you just trade fungible tokens, buy tokens that are OG collectibles. $WMC

In the historic coin space, this is considered a mega pump. Study, research, buy what interests you, hold, repeat. Two coins made by Ethereum Foundation leaders in Ethereum's infancy, paving the way for the contract technology today. Learn more @ ethereumhistory.com 📖
