The original Aragon Network Token ("ANTv1" and sometimes "ANT (old)") is an ERC20-compliant token deployed to Ethereum mainnet. It was launched through the in May, 2017.
Although previously configurable, the token will now (and forever) closely mimic a vanilla ERC20 token:
Its supply, and holders' balances, are constant
All transfers are allowed, with no internal fee mechanisms
No functionality for blacklisting addresses
In addition to the vanilla behaviour, it implemented a number of features that were intended to be used when governing the Aragon Network:
Historical token balance records
Cloning, with balances from a specific block snapshot
An optional controller (see below)
And finally, a specific behaviour was added for the initial launch period:
Despite being deprecated, ANTv1 is forever "unstoppable": it will continue to be transferable and tradable on Ethereum.
Irrevocable time-based vesting from a whitelisted granter, used during the token sale and afterwards to generate the .
The controller of a MiniMe token holds significant power over the token itself (more information available in the ).
The current controller of ANT is a final, non-changeable contract, . This contract limits the token controller related function of ANT to only allowing a specified address to call generateTokens().
Currently this address is the Community Multisig .
