How to Buy MistCoin ($WMC)
The first ERC-20 token ever created. Deployed November 3, 2015 by the creator of the ERC-20 standard.
🏛️ Why MistCoin?
MistCoin was deployed by Fabian Vogelsteller and Alex Van de Sande — the Ethereum Foundation developers who created the ERC-20 standard. Deployed 16 days before ERC-20 was formally proposed, it's the prototype that started it all. Every standard token on Ethereum traces back to this moment.
