A token named My DAO shares, symbol %, holding the whole supply at its creator and declaring 49 decimal places.
Historical Significance
The other half of the democracy tutorial: an association weights votes by balances in a token like this one, and the token itself has no idea it is being used for governance. Voting power here is simply a fixed supply held by whoever deployed it, which is what shareholder voting reduces to when nobody distributes the shares.
Context
Deployed in mid 2016, weeks after The DAO was drained, when the ethereum.org democracy tutorial was still the worked example anyone starting a small onchain organisation would copy.
Token Information
Key Facts
Description
A minimal ERC-20 style token from the ethereum.org tutorial: a name, a symbol, a decimals field, a public balanceOf mapping and a transfer that throws when the sender is short or the recipient would overflow, emitting Transfer on success. There is no allowance, no approve and no mint, so the supply written to the creator at deployment is the whole supply there will ever be.
It was deployed as My DAO shares with the symbol % and a decimals field of 49, a value no display convention expects. The name is the one the democracy tutorial suggests for the token whose balances decide a vote, so this token was created to be the shares of an association contract rather than to be a currency.
