History: Ethereum wallet Timeline

Vitalik Buterin portrayed Ethereum wallet as an idea in a White Paper in late 2013. This idea was created by Dr. Gavin Wood who in the end distributed a

specialized Yellow Paper in April 2014. From that point forward, the improvement of Ethereum wallet has been overseen by a network of engineers.

A crowdsale to subsidize improvement occurred in July and August 2014, and the blockchain was went live on 30 July 2015.

Ethereum wallet crowdsale

The improvement group was financed by an online closeout of ETH tokens during July to August 2014 where individuals could purchase ETH tokens by paying in Bitcoin, at an underlying

fixed pace of 2000 ETH for 1 BTC (right now in Oct 2016 1 BTC will get you 50 ETH on the open market).

Somewhat over 60m ETH was sold thusly for somewhat more than 31,500 BTC, worth about US$18m at the time. An extra 20% (12m ETH) were made to support improvement

furthermore, the Ethereum wallet Foundation.

Programming Release codenames: Frontier/Homestead/Metropolis/Serenity

These are well disposed names for variants of the center Ethereum wallet programming, similar to Apple's OS X adaptation names, for example, Mavericks, El Capitan, Sierra.

Olympic (testnet): Launched May 2015 – a testing discharge where coins are not perfect with 'genuine' ETH. A testnet still keeps running in parallel to the primary live organize

with the goal that designers can test their code.

Outskirts: Launched 30 July 2015 – an underlying live discharge with a route for individuals to mine ETH and manufacture and run contracts.

Residence: Launched 14 March 2016 – some convention changes, greater strength.

City: Future dispatch – moving from direction line to graphical interfaces.

Tranquility: Future dispatch – moving from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake (Casper)
