A 2024 meme token whose own code is nine lines: an OpenZeppelin ERC20 with permit and a burn entry point, no owner, and more than half the original supply already destroyed.

Historical Significance

The interesting thing about this contract is the restraint. A meme token in 2024 could be produced from a web form in minutes, arriving with a transfer tax, a blacklist, a wallet cap and a renounce button to reassure buyers afterwards. This one has none of that machinery, so there is nothing to renounce and nothing to freeze. The guarantee is structural rather than promised.

The burn record is the other half. Just over half the supply has been voluntarily destroyed by holders using the one function the author added, which is a kind of onchain behaviour a fixed-supply token with an owner could always have faked by moving tokens to a dead address. Here the supply figure itself is the evidence, and the number it started from was a joke.

Description

Almost nothing here was written by hand. The contract declares itself as ERC20, ERC20Permit and IERC20Burnable, and its entire body is a constructor that names the token and mints, plus a burn function that lets a holder destroy their own balance. Everything else comes from OpenZeppelin, and the source was submitted with the library laid out under lib/ beside a src/ directory, which is the shape a Foundry project leaves behind.

What that omission buys is worth stating plainly, because it is unusual for the genre. There is no owner and no Ownable inheritance, so there is no address that can pause transfers, change a fee, blacklist a holder or mint more. There are no fees at all, no wallet cap and no trading switch. The permit extension is the only addition beyond the standard, and it exists to let holders approve by signature instead of by transaction.

The constructor minted 69,000,000 tokens to the deployer and nothing has been minted since, because nothing can be. Total supply now reads about 32,783,214.5, so roughly 52 percent of the original issue has been put through the burn function and destroyed. It was compiled with solc 0.8.20 and the optimizer set to 999,999 runs, a setting that optimises for the cost of calling the contract rather than the cost of deploying it.
