Wrapped CurrencyCoin
CC #4533Project Safety Score: 0%
Updated 22 minutes agoFrom an Ethereum Wiki to the World's ERC-20 Standard
In the chaotic early days of Ethereum, there was no standard for tokens. Developers were creating incompatible contracts, leading to ecosystem fragmentation.
Recognizing this, Vitalik Buterin initiated the Standardized_Contract_APIs repository on GitHub. This public workspace became the cited foundation for what would eventually become ERC-20. The process was collaborative; developers like Caktux and Simon de la Rouviere (Simondlr) and many others contributed ideas and code, debating function names like disapprove versus unapprove.
On September 6, 2015, Vitalik Buterin committed the Solidity version of currency.sol, which served as the initial code template used in discussions and cited in the Final ERC-20 Standard. Just two days later, on September 8, 2015, developer 'rfikki' deployed a modified version of this contract to the mainnet. This deployment became a live implementation of some of the earliest code examples by which currency.sol was used to later formalize the official EIP-20 proposal.
Risk Report
Cryptocurrency carries risk. Every project listed on this site, regardless of its score, operates in a volatile and largely unregulated market. Tokens can lose most or all of their value. A high score reflects lower structural risk based on the data we can measure. It does not mean a project is safe, that the price will hold, or that losses are unlikely. Always research independently and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.
