An ethereum.org tutorial token deployed with no name and no symbol, that tracks spending against approvals rather than decrementing them.

Homestead EraVerified Source

Historical Significance

Instead of decrementing an allowance as it is drawn, this revision of the tutorial keeps a separate ledger of how much of each approval has been spent and compares against it. The result is the same limit enforced from the opposite direction, and it avoids the write-after-read that made the ERC-20 approve race famous. It is a road the standard did not take, preserved in the contracts that copied the tutorial while it was still there.

This deployment left the name and the symbol empty. Both are set once in the constructor and no function changes them, so the token has no display identity of any kind and never will: a wallet holding it can only ever show its address.

Context

Homestead arrived in March 2016 and the ethereum.org tutorials were rewritten around the transfer and balanceOf names that ERC-20 was standardising. Deploying a token had become a matter of filling in four constructor arguments, and most of the deployments of this period are exactly that.
