The earliest on-chain token exchange and governance gameplay in history for decentralized tokens, Ethereum Foundation team's 10 years ago meme — #w🍖


This was an experimental project initiated by @avsa, the UX lead at the Ethereum Foundation at the time. The foundation first launched Unicorn as a reward for donors, and donations could earn Unicorn tokens.
And then @avsa deployed the Unicorn Meat unicorn mincing smart contract, which is the current #w🍖 代币合约,你把捐赠得到的独角兽代币Unicorn直接放进去就可以换成 #w🍖 ;
This is one of the earliest demonstrations of on-chain token exchange and governance gameplay for decentralized tokens in history. It predates Uniswap by several years and also demonstrated early token swaps and bribable DAO mechanisms;
