Mist

The oldest collectable token, created by the founder of ERC-20. $MC $WMC

[Mist @MistCoin]

With $BTC heading to a new ATH, it’s a good moment to share one reflection:

$BTC is the first cryptocurrency ever deployed.

However, most of people doing crypto nowadays are using interoperable standard tokens in different blockchains.

Do you know what’s the first one?

@VitalikButerin And what about some wrapped MistCoin?

Hey @cz_binance if we gotta remember our roots, you should learn about MistCoin, the prototype which helped shape the ERC20 token standard.

The daddy of $BNB clearly deserves a listing 😉

In 24 days, we’ll mark 11 years since a token was first displayed in an Ethereum wallet.

While everyone in CT is discussing if AI will kill cryptography and our magic internet money, we are looking back at this tutorial from December 2015, where @ethereum was explaining how to create your own cryptocurrencies using MistCoin code.

Just a piece of tokenization history.

If you have to pick one token before switching your wallet to “bunker mode”, the choice is clear.

Just pick the one that has been 100% running since Ethereum launch.

“It was the first wallet to have tokens. In fact we were the ones who wrote the specs for it, which became industry standard, ERC20”

No a small feat @avsa

It’s really this simple.

The Ethereum Foundation’s public experiments which shaped today’s token standards and the way we do DeFi.

This is where tokenization began.

Ethereum team introducing tokens in November 2025. Few days before DevCon 1 and few days before ERC20 standard proposal.

MistCoin is the memecoin for the “Tokenization supercycle”

One day, not too far, people will start to wonder why every stablecoin, every tokenized stock, every tokenized bond or in short, every tokenized asset, is called “ERC20 token”.

They’ll find out this post. And right after, they’ll find out about ethereum:0x7fd4d7737597e7b4ee22acbf8d94362343ae0a79

Mist, the first token launchpad, ever

This is how Mist browser “custom token creation tool” looked like back in 2015.

It was the interface that gave birth to MistCoin and hundreds of copies that followed after.

The first “PumpFun”, 7y before Solana even existed.

3rd Nov 2015. Fabian Vogelsteller (@feindura) deploys MistCoin to test tokens on Ethereum. It’s a first prototype of the ERC20 standard.

11th Nov 2015. Fabian, Vitalik, Gavin Wood and others discuss token standards on a dedicated panel at DevCon1.

19th Nov 2015. Fabian and Vitalik propose ERC-20 standard.
