[Base] Bridging to a different token name and ticker about ethereum-optimism.github.io HOT 3 CLOSED

@trador-rising

Hi there! Thanks for your patience waiting for a reply! Here's an example of a token that is doing something similar (different symbol and name on L1 compared to Base). #697

In the near future we'll be transitioning away from the official Base bridge in favor of further decentralizing and directing users to other bridges in the community, e.g. https://superbridge.app/base

Community bridges have their own processes for enabling you to include your own token, but being part of the Superchain Token List (this repo) is an important step.

Hope that helps clarify! :)

Hi @wbnns thanks very much for the reply! It's exciting to know that this will be possible. Are you sure #697 is the correct link? It looks like this token has the same ticker and name on Base and ETH: Open Ecosystem Token (OPN)

@trador-rising Ah, indeed, apologies -- I am mistaken here. :/ I'm not sure I have another reference then where a different name and symbol has been used. I would consider keeping it the same based on this, and possibly deploying a new native token with the desired symbol and name that can be airdropped/claimed by existing holders.
