Tutorial-derived coin contract (Solidity v0.1.1), deployed Aug 9, 2015 during the Frontier era.
Key Facts
Description
A FirstCoin instance deployed by 0x9B2c46642CAF6B936dc0633da521f1E946B7e18F on Aug 9, 2015, during the first days of the Ethereum Frontier era. The bytecode is identical to all other FirstCoin instances — a minimal coin with coinBalanceOf, sendCoin, and CoinTransfer event, compiled with Solidity v0.1.1.
At least nine total FirstCoin deployments occurred between August 8–11, 2015, from four different deployer addresses. The pattern — repeated deployment of the same tutorial-derived contract by different users — illustrates how the earliest Ethereum adopters learned smart contract development.
See the first instance (0x3c401b518252abe3bbbf898a44939699e7da1634) for full documentation.
