FoundationTipJar

The Tip Jar functioned as a simple but deliberate demonstration of Ethereum’s capabilities. It replaced traditional donation mechanisms with on-chain logic, making contributions publicly auditable and programmatically handled. The associated Unicorn token was intended as a symbolic acknowledgment of participation rather than a financial asset.

The Foundation Tip Jar was a smart contract deployed in 2015 by Alex Van de Sande while working at the Ethereum Foundation. It allowed anyone to send Ether directly to the Foundation through a transparent, permissionless contract. In return, contributors received a small experimental token known as the Unicorn token, issued automatically by the contract.
