Historical Significance

Meme is one of the earliest examples on Ethereum of a token whose point was the joke and the puzzle rather than a product, with rewardMathGeniuses distributing supply to whoever solved what the owner set. Wrapping it in 2025 is what let a 2016 novelty reach venues that did not exist when it was written. That its contract is still named MyToken, the placeholder from the token tutorial of the period, is a small record of how these contracts were actually made.

Context

April 2016 sits in the gap between ERC-20 being proposed and being universally followed. Many tokens from these months were written by copying a tutorial and changing the name, which is why so many share the contract name MyToken and an interface that stops at transfer and balanceOf. They work perfectly well on their own terms and are unreachable from anything that expects allowances.

Description

WrappedMeme was deployed on 21 July 2025 and wraps the token deployed on 13 April 2016 under the contract name MyToken and the token name Meme. The link is confirmed on chain: calling originalToken() on the wrapper returns that address.

The original is further from the standard than most contracts wrapped here. Its entire function set is name, symbol, decimals, balanceOf, transfer, owner, transferOwnership and rewardMathGeniuses. There is no approve, no transferFrom and no allowance, so nothing can move the token on a holder's behalf, and transfer itself returns nothing where the standard requires a bool. The wrapper provides wrap and unwrap and issues a compliant token against a deposit.
