Problem: there's no consensus on terminology used for tokens

Open yihuang opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Context: https://github.com/crypto-org-chain/cronos/pull/45#discussion_r704481008

We need to settle down on the terminologies used for different types of tokens:

  • ERC20 tokens on ethereum
    • ERC20 token
  • CRC20 tokens on Cronos
    • CRC20 token
  • cosmos native tokens on Cronos
    • coin
    • cosmos token
    • native token
  • The CRO native token on Cronos
    • CRO
    • gas token

for gas token, I have been using a lot "evm token" as ethermint uses EVM_DENOM for the gas token denomination. But only internally in the code

for native tokens, also ICS20?

I guess this issue can be resolved by ADR + code refactoring if there's some inconsistent usage (do any of the terms leak into consensus-critical parts, such as network parameters?)
