Three months later, a different developer built HashToken without knowing Love existed. This one got the economics right: difficulty only goes up. Every successful mint permanently shrinks the target by 1%. It sat untouched for nine years until someone rediscovered it. Trades
Mined a few @Hashtoken2016 to refine and test my improved mining setup. Sold 3 to cover my costs, and will now give away the remaining 4.
Let me know why you should get it here below 👇
$HTK is a tokenized proof of computer super intelligence trading at 170k mcap now:
1) 2016 Ethereum Relic by early ETH dev (RexetBlell)
2) First successful difficulty-based PoW minting
3) Tiny supply
4) Elegant, innovative and verified source code
*Possibly the earliest ERC-20 coin trading at the moment*
Discovered on the 8th of July 2025 @Hashtoken2016
@Hashtoken2016 is one of the earliest Ethereum coins, proof-of-work mining, each successful mint makes the next one ~1% harder to mint.
A live experiment in computational scarcity running now for 10 yrs, still issuing tokens on its OG terms: harder every time, no exceptions.
I've set up laddered liquidity for $HTK on Uniswap v3. Structured the ranges to enable price discovery upward.
Only 0.36% of supply is available from spot. More tokens open up at valuations in line with other OG ETH coins.
Hashtoken $HTK is one of the coolest coins on Ethereum. Created in June 2016.

ayeAyeCoin $WAAC (2015) and HashToken $HTK (2016) are the only OG coins we found so far combining technical novelties, an elaborate design concept and coherent code execution.
No idea about timeframe but longterm they’ll probably do exceptionally well.
ayeAyecoin ($WAAC 2015) = One coin for you via faucet (6,000,000 coins).
Hashtoken ($HTK 2016) = One coin for you via Ivy League math with 1% exponential decay (est. 3000 coins).
Both are one of the most interesting coin contracts on ETH with very smart distribution mechanics.
Pretty unique token here from 2016 now archived.
HashToken was made by adapting the StandardToken.sol contract from @Consensys and making the first increasing-difficulty hash-based minting token.

📖 ETHEREUM CONTRACT ARCHIVED 📖

The Olympian Coin
We may never know the true intentions behind deploying the hashtoken’s contract. In 2015-2016, early ethereum devs were testing new worlds.
Hashtoken is a world with olympian principles and a spirit of ethereum. Principles of work, fairness and neutrality.
An ocean of worthless tickers and attention-based "innovation" feeds this pathological cycle.
When it breaks, we return to first principles of value & fairness through work, verifiability, and neutrality.
HashToken’s smart contract is the first to successfully implement a unique PoW minting mechanism less than one year after ETH mainnet went live.
An elegant design and only a few thousands of these coins in circulation.
