Once upon a time, in the beginning of 2009, there was a Bitcoin and a couple of Bitcoin blocks floated on the internet and nobody cared! But now it's a king!... later on, in January of 2021 (at block 666,050 to be exact) the Stacks 2.0 blockchain came into existence from a Bitcoin sperm! A network to build a better internet, owned by users and coexisting with the Bitcoin blockchain!... A while later, a notion stroke into someone's head that: why should state's money matters at all?! And what distinguishes money from nothing?! While spiritualist say money is literally nothing, could nothing become money in reverse?! So, the Nothing token showed up out of nowhere and nothing!
Nothing(42) is the first fungible-token that was created on the Stacks network. Micro-Nothing with the $MNO ticker is the final iteration that was created by the founders with a total supply of 100,000,000,000,000 Micro-Nothing. The contract for MNO was created in block #5235, anchored to bitcoin block 672454. The five founding addresses mined the total supply. And those will be shared among stacks community members, starting at the end of February 2021, with the first 20 Trillion.
The Nothing token (MNO) was created before the standard for Fungible Tokens on Stacks was finalized and that is why yet another Nothing contract was devised. The Wrapped Nothing contract will wrap your MNO and create WMNO in its stead. WMNO does adhere to the FT-standard and will make it possible to easily interact with other contracts in the future. The FT-standard (SIP010) was missing the optional memo field and that was fixed with a change to the standard. That meant that earlier versions would nolonger adhere to the standard and a new Nothing Wrapper was needed. Subsequently v7 (memo) and v8 (get-balance instead of get-balance-of) were made. Because in the future different purposes may require yet more and different wrappers we decided to henceforth give the Wrapped Nothing we create a number. As of June the 6th 2021 the faucet is handing out Wrapped Nothing 8 (WMNO8) yet mostly we will refer to it simply as Nothing, Wrapped Nothing or Wrapped MNO). Nothing remains the first SIP-010 compliant token on Stacks.
The Nothing token is a meme coin, it is encouraged to make memes about this coin and post them on social media (mention #mnotoken on twitter). Every week one winner will be elected and they receive a billion Nothing tokens. Nothing is for everyone in the stacks community, you can get some at nothingtoken.com, you can receive it from other NoBro’s (= anyone who's got Nothing) and gift it to anyone with a Stacks address. Since Nothing is worth Nothing they can be mindlessly used for tests on the Stacks mainnet. Have fun; loading up on Nothing, wrapping and unwrapping Nothing (coming soon), sending 1337 Nothing to a fresh miner address and drewling over a million Nothing in your Boom Wallet... like it is Nothing!

Wrapped Nothing (v5) at Stacks block #6644 and Bitcoin block height 674048 (11th of March 2021) this was used for the faucet for a short period of time before we fixed a minor issue with v6. If you have some of these WMNO's you can unwrap MNO them using this contract and wrap them with the final contract (v6).
Wrapped Nothing (v6) at Stacks block #11548 and Bitcoin block height 679615 (18th of April 2021)
Wrapped Nothing (v7) at Stacks block #16639 and Bitcoin block height 685300 (28th of May 2021)
Hours after v7 was deployed the SIP-010 got one last change, we call it the get-balance change and it was resolved with:
