Hashtoken (HTK)

2016 PoW relic on Ethereum | Keccak-256 mining | A self-limiting difficulty choke on supply | Fair, compute-based distribution.

To appreciate how unique @Hashtoken2016 is, one must trace how PoW was implemented and used before. A quick thread on the evolution of PoW 🧵:

Mined a few @Hashtoken2016 to refine and test my improved mining setup. Sold 3 to cover my costs, and will now give away the remaining 4.

$HTK is a tokenized proof of computer super intelligence trading at 170k mcap now:

1) 2016 Ethereum Relic by early ETH dev (RexetBlell)
2) First successful difficulty-based PoW minting
3) Tiny supply
4) Elegant, innovative and verified source code

*Possibly the earliest ERC-20 coin trading at the moment*
Discovered on the 8th of July 2025 @Hashtoken2016

First few buys coming in. Mcap is still at only 150k and liquidity for cheap $HTK tokens is thin.

@Hashtoken2016 is one of the earliest Ethereum coins, proof-of-work mining, each successful mint makes the next one ~1% harder to mint.

A live experiment in computational scarcity running now for 10 yrs, still issuing tokens on its OG terms: harder every time, no exceptions.

@Hashtoken2016 3,360 $HTK got minted so far. 35% are locked/vested.

I've set up laddered liquidity for $HTK on Uniswap v3. Structured the ranges to enable price discovery upward.

Only 0.36% of supply is available from spot. More tokens open up at valuations in line with other OG ETH coins.

35% of this token's supply is locked till 2030 btw

Hashtoken $HTK is one of the coolest coins on Ethereum. Created in June 2016.

ayeAyeCoin $WAAC (2015) and HashToken $HTK (2016) are the only OG coins we found so far combining technical novelties, an elaborate design concept and coherent code execution.

No idea about timeframe but longterm they’ll probably do exceptionally well.

Pretty unique token here from 2016 now archived.

HashToken was made by adapting the StandardToken.sol contract from @Consensys and making the first increasing-difficulty hash-based minting token.

The Olympian Coin
We may never know the true intentions behind deploying the hashtoken’s contract. In 2015-2016, early ethereum devs were testing new worlds.
Hashtoken is a world with olympian principles and a spirit of ethereum. Principles of work, fairness and neutrality.

[Hashtoken (HTK) @Hashtoken2016]

An ocean of worthless tickers and attention-based "innovation" feeds this pathological cycle.
When it breaks, we return to first principles of value & fairness through work, verifiability, and neutrality.

To appreciate how unique @Hashtoken2016 is, one must trace how PoW was implemented and used before. A quick thread on the evolution of PoW 🧵:

[Hashtoken (HTK) @Hashtoken2016]

HashToken’s smart contract is the first to successfully implement a unique PoW minting mechanism less than one year after ETH mainnet went live.
An elegant design and only a few thousands of these coins in circulation.
