Almost nothing was built at the beginning.
Ethereum went live on July 30, 2015: command-line, developers only, almost nobody deploying. EPOCH honours the handful of tokens that survived that window.
Before The DAO. Before the ICO boom, before NFTs, before stablecoins and DEXs. Before ERC-20 itself existed.
The EPC pool
The liquidity is locked. The position goes to a lock contract with no owner override, no upgrade path and no early exit. Its source is verified, so the rules can be read rather than taken on trust.
The campaign has started
The 5 week EPOCH campaign to promote #ETH2015 is in its last week. Week 4 is Winter, and it turns to the ETH2015 NFT collection: the whitelist mint opens on 5 October and the public mint on 12 October. Autumn's shop still has BTCE and HTK on the shelf, Summer's doubling can still be claimed, and liquidity is open: EPC trades on Uniswap. #ETH2015 are the earliest assets on Ethereum: the handful of tokens deployed in the months after launch, before almost anyone was building. Join the Discord to take part of the distribution.
Winter: ETH2015 mints
The finale turns to the NFT collection: all 6,187 contracts from 2015, one NFT each. Whitelist mint on 5 October, public mint on 12 October.
See Winter → Still openAutumn: the shop
Burn EPC for bitcoin on Ethereum or for Hashtoken while the shelf lasts. What goes in is destroyed, not collected. The 2015-WL voucher closed at the start of Winter.
Open the shop → Still openSummer: the promise is kept
Week 2 is over, but the claim is not. Everything locked during Thawing can still be claimed back at double, in one transaction. The contract has no expiry, so there is no deadline.
Claim your double → Where it runsJoin the Discord
The campaign is run in the Discord: payouts, bounties, and everyone else spreading #ETH2015 for the rest of the campaign.
Open Discord → The reasonWhat #ETH2015 is
The earliest assets on Ethereum, from the window before The DAO, before the ICO boom, before ERC-20 itself existed.
Meet the roster →The punch sheet
One week of Thawing, then four week-long seasons: out of the ice, growing, and back to the cold. Each stays sealed until its week opens, and after Winter the campaign is done. Punch a piece out and it drops into the tray.
What is EPOCH
EPOCH is handed out during the five-week campaign to people who help spread #ETH2015. Holders may get something small at the end, but nothing is promised and nothing is owed. Treat it as a game, because that is what it is.
The token
The back of the rulebook
It's for fun, and it's for five weeks.
What it is
- A five-week campaign token: one week of Thawing, then four seasons.
- A tribute to #ETH2015, the earliest assets on Ethereum (bitcoin on Ethereum, MistCoin, ayeAyeCoin), and a way to point people at them.
- Games, bounties and giveaways you join because they're fun.
- Fixed supply, minted once, nothing reserved for the team.
What it isn't
- Not an investment, and not financial advice. Never buy more than you'd happily spend on a game.
- Not a claim on BTCE, MistCoin, ayeAyeCoin, or anything else. There is no swap and no redemption.
- Not a promise of price, returns, or airdrops from anyone.
- Not a long-term product. After Winter the seasons are done; what's left is the lore.
