A named NC token deployed during Ethereum Frontier on 8 February 2016.

Frontier Era

Historical Significance

NoCoin preserves an example of named token deployment during the Frontier era, before token conventions had settled. Its documented facts are the deployment and token identity, while the creator’s intent remains unverified.

Context

Ethereum was still in the Frontier era. Developers were experimenting with transferable balances and token interfaces ahead of the Homestead upgrade in March 2016.

Description

NoCoin (NC) was deployed at block 973,461 on 8 February 2016. The chain record and token metadata identify this contract as an early named token; the deployment predates Ethereum’s Homestead upgrade.

No contemporaneous project statement or verified original source has been established in this archive. Its name should therefore not be taken as evidence of a particular economic purpose.
