What is HashToken (HTK)?
HashToken was deployed on June 17, 2016, making it the first Ethereum token to implement a self-limiting proof-of-work model. This groundbreaking contract introduced the revolutionary concept of exponentially increasing mining difficulty, where each successful mint makes subsequent tokens 1% progressively harder to mine, creating natural scarcity through computational work. Also built and based on the StandardToken code, it implements an early ERC-20 interface, allowing it to retain compatibility with modern exchanges without needing an assisting wrapper.
How does HashToken work?
It stands as the oldest trustlessly distributed token on Ethereum to feature this early ERC-20 architecture.
