Historical Significance

MistCoin is one of the clearest cases of a token that is historically important precisely because it predates the standard. It cannot be made compliant without destroying what makes it interesting, since any change would mean a new contract and a new deployment date. Wrapping is the only way to make it usable in modern venues while leaving the 2015 contract exactly as Fabian Vogelsteller deployed it.

Context

MistCoin was deployed on 3 November 2015. The ERC-20 proposal followed on 19 November 2015, and MistCoin is understood to have informed it. The token therefore sits on the wrong side of a line it helped draw, holding a shape that the standard would formalise weeks later but not the interface the standard settled on.

Description

Wrapped MistCoin (WMC) was deployed on 27 July 2022 and wraps MistCoin from 3 November 2015. Its verified source references the MistCoin address, and it keeps the original's two decimal places.

MistCoin was written sixteen days before the ERC-20 proposal and provides transfer and balanceOf but no approve, no transferFrom and no allowance. As with Golem, that means no contract can move MistCoin on a holder's behalf. The wrapper offers wrap and unwrap functions that take custody of MistCoin and issue a compliant ERC-20 claim against it.

The earlier contract this one represents. Holding this counts as holding that original on a collector card.
