The Ethereum MVP for ERC-20 turns 10 tomorrow.

10 years of standard tokens.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

I got an A in Algebra and History.

At $3.7, 1000 MistCoin is $3,700

Exactly nine years ago, Fabian and @vitalik.ca the most famous standard of the crypto industry: The ERC-20 token standard.

This is a huge piece of Ethereum history and MistCoin’s, as its prototype.

Happy birthday ERC-20!

MistCoin, the first ERC20, has a 1M supply.

The market cap is $3.9m.

You can own 1,000 (0.1%) for $3,900.

It’s going to get increasingly difficult to be in the 1,000 MistCoin club.
