Token with an owner who sets buy and sell prices and can freeze any holder.

Historical Significance

The advanced token from the ethereum.org tutorial puts a market inside the token: the owner sets a buy and a sell price and holders trade against the contract's own ether balance rather than finding a counterparty. It is an automated market maker with a fixed price and no curve, written years before the term existed, and it fails the same way each time, since the contract will keep quoting a price it can no longer honour once its balance runs out. The owner also mints and freezes, so every risk in the design is concentrated in one account.

Context

Deployed in August 2016 during the Homestead era.

Description

An owner named at creation, or the creator when none is given, receives the whole supply and can mint more, freeze an account so it can no longer send, and set the prices at which the contract itself buys and sells units for ether. Approvals go through approveAndCall, which notifies the spender contract in the same transaction. It was created by a factory contract rather than deployed directly from an account.
