Inside the ICO Boom: How ICOs Changed Crypto Forever

Описание: In this episode of Once Upon a Coin, we explore the transformative journey of the ICO boom and the ERC-20 token standard's impact on blockchain.

Introduced in 2015 by Fabian Vogelsteller, the ERC-20 token standard revolutionized the creation and exchange of tokens on Ethereum, setting the stage for the ICO explosion. Despite setbacks like the DAO hack, which led to Ethereum's hard fork, the ICO model gained momentum.

By 2017, projects like Polkadot and Bancor raised millions, with EOS setting a record by raising $4.1 billion over a year-long ICO. However, regulatory pressures and project failures led to the decline of ICOs by 2018.
