Token Identity

What it is for

My name and ticker are labels, and labels can change. The token's address, your balance and the supply cannot.

To be sure a token is me, compare the address. Names are easy to copy.

How it works

The token contract is not upgradeable. It has no function that creates tokens and none that can freeze or move yours. Its owner has exactly one power: to set a new name, ticker and metadata link.

That owner is not a person's key. It is the same timelock that guards the switchboard's list. A rename has to be announced on the chain, wait out the public delay, and can then be carried out by anyone. This site reads the name from the chain, so the words on these pages follow it.

Where it stops

Wallets and explorers remember names. After a rename, some will show the old one for a while.

The project's operator is the only one who can announce a rename, and can withdraw the announcement during the wait. Nobody can skip the wait.

A name may be up to 128 bytes and a ticker up to 32. Treat both as text that somebody typed.
