A fixed-supply token with transfers and allowance spending, deployed November 2016.
Historical Significance
A token written to the interface rather than to a tutorial: balances, transfers, an allowance mapping and a total supply, with no owner, no minting and no metadata beyond what the interface asks for. Contracts of this shape are what ERC-20 was describing when it was drafted, and their sameness is the point, since a wallet or an exchange can handle any of them without knowing anything else.
Context
By late 2016 ERC-20 had settled the interface a token was expected to answer, and the ethereum.org tutorial was still where most people copied one from. OpenZeppelin's contracts were not yet the default, so the code behind a token of this period is usually the tutorial's, with the constructor arguments changed and nothing else.
Token Information
Key Facts
Description
A token from the ethereum.org tutorial. Balances sit in a public balanceOf mapping and transfer(to, value) moves them, throwing rather than returning false when the sender is short and checking the recipient's balance for overflow before adding to it. An allowance mapping records what each spender has been authorised for. There is no owner and no way to create further units: the supply written at deployment is the whole supply. It was deployed as DoriToken, with the symbol DTK and an opening supply of 10,000 base units at 5 decimal places and it answers standard() with the string Token 0.1, the label the tutorial used before ERC-20 had a number.
