Historical Significance

MoonCatRescue is one of the earliest NFT projects on Ethereum, launched in August 2017, months before the standard existed. It was then almost entirely forgotten until 2021, when the collection was rediscovered and every remaining cat was claimed within hours. The Acclimator is what made that rediscovery tradeable, and it is the clearest surviving example of a pre-standard collectible being carried forward without altering the original contract.

Context

Deployed with solc 0.7.3 and verified on Sourcify as MoonCatAcclimator. The name is the project's own term: a rescued cat becomes acclimated once it is wrapped. Note that a second, earlier wrapper also exists at 0x7C40c393DC0f283F318791d746d894DdD3693572, so MoonCat ownership is split across two wrapping schemes and the original contract.

Description

MoonCatRescue predates ERC721. It tracks ownership in its own catOwners mapping and knows nothing about the interface every marketplace later standardised on, so for years a rescued MoonCat could not be listed anywhere that spoke the standard. The Acclimator holds the original cat and issues a matching ERC721 token, which restores the whole modern toolchain to a 2017 asset. Its backing is exact: 20,894 cats held against 20,894 tokens issued, with no drift in either direction.
