"Pokemon" is short for "pocket monsters". "Digimon" is short for "digital monsters". Therefore, "salmon" is short for "saltwater monsters". (You might object: salmon spend a big part of their life in freshwater. But pokemon spend a big part of their life outside pockets too!)

Ethereum hosts the largest and most mature blockchain ecosystem. ERC-20/Ethereum assets are the most commonly supported token standards […] $WMC

This was the ethereum website in 2015. I was the one pushing these pixels and writing the texts. No one told me what to do, I don't even remember how I got assigned the task of building it – I just showed up. Tokens, Crowdsales, DAOs, it was all there. It's quite naïve in retrospect.

Announcing Ethlabs: a non-profit R&D lab for Ethereum and ETH Our mission is to make Ethereum the settlement layer of the global economy. The internet became global because shared protocols created a common language between networks. Private systems remained useful, but bounded. Finance is approaching a similar moment. As value, assets, and markets become digital, the world needs shared settlement infrastructure. Ethereum is uniquely positioned to become that shared base layer, the neutral foundation on which users, institutions, and agents can transact without intermediation. What we believe: • We believe credible neutrality matters. Ten years of uptime and the lowest counterparty risk. Ground that cannot be pulled away by any one country, institution, company, or person. • We believe ETH matters. The most valuable, programmable store of value. A decade of broad distribution, deep liquidity in onchain markets, and maximally trustless asset on Ethereum. • We believe DeFi matters. Markets, liquidity, credit, exchange, and coordination, open to anyone. • We believe adoption matters. Principles do not change the world until people benefit from them. We sit between two worlds: real usage from the builders at the frontier, and the protocol that has to support it. We work with users, applications, wallets, L2s, infrastructure teams, institutions, ETH holders, core devs and researchers, then turn what they actually need into protocol work, shared standards, infrastructure, and shipped products. Ethlabs is independent but Ethereum is a shared project. We are one node in a much larger network of stewards. This is the multi-node future. We have spent the better part of the past decade contributing to Ethereum core research and development. We are opinionated and transparent. We move with urgency, learn in public, and course-correct when we’re wrong. We are building a lean, talent-dense team for people who want to do the most important work of their careers: [email protected]

Tokenization is accelerating. MistCoin is the first meaningful token deployed in a programmable blockchain. Tokenization + collectibles = $WMC 💠

Tokenized stocks are rapidly expanding. The total market cap of onchain tokenized stocks is now up to a record $1.6 billion. This marks a +240% increase year-to-date as tokenization gains popularity and equity markets have experienced a historic rally. Additionally, trading

Hyperliquid runs on ERC-20 tokens. Polymarket runs on ERC-20 tokens. Most stablecoins are ERC-20s or equivalent standards like TRC-20. Institutions tokenizing equities, funds and financial instruments are deploying ERC-20 tokens. Companies tokenizing collectibles, luxury goods and TCGs are doing the same. Literally every new shiny thing that’s positive for the crypto industry runs on the EVM and ERC-20 tokens. MistCoin is one of the most important digital artifacts in crypto and as finance moves onchain, it will become one of the industry’s most valuable collectibles. $WMC

@aantonop @TruthInCrypto @VitalikButerin The first ERC20 I did was MistCoin a fun creation to test tokens in the Ethereum Wallet. Right after somebody created “bitcoin” 🙀 I still own some super valuable MistCoin 😜

@yekiM_o Agree with your thesis. You should learn about MistCoin, the underlying value is the token itself. No other historical artifact captures the value of tokenization and onchain economy as MistCoin does!

But CT consensus is still that Asteroid Shiba or any other random shitcoin is a more solid pick than $WMC. Time will tell.

@MistCoinEth @MistCoin @VitalikButerin I didn’t pick the number randomly, it was the GitHub issue number 20. The idea was not that this becomes the official standard, but to be thr discussion for a future standard 😉 People just went with my written specification, and used the name ERC20 github.com/ethereum/EIPs/…

That would undoubtedly be MistCoin. Deployed Nov 3, 2015 by Fabian Vogelsteller and Alex Van de Sande as part of the feature release to Ethereum Wallet allowing anyone to create standard tokens with a button click. 16 days later Fabian and Vitalik proposed ERC-20.
