UDPATED... See 1st comment to this ticket: #1 (comment)

We need to create a tokenlist compliant with tokenlists.org / https://github.com/Uniswap/token-lists

The list must include multi-chain tokens. Tokens in different chains with matching SYMBOLs must be considered equivalents... e.g. USDC with chainId 56 and chainId 1 are the same USDC but on different chains.

Based on TL compliant tokenlist we may or may not need our own format. E.g. hosted in /data/coins.json or some other format.

To start with, we can use some else's tokenlist as a base. We need to keep in mind that our tokenlists must reference logos hosted in our frontend repo.

The logos must be SVG

The job of mainterner must be converting the logos to SVG format using tools like sketch with Potrace plugin, or some other vector converter

Instead of having our own tokenlist, we must:

Appoint maintainer of the coinlist
Clone the trustwallet repo
Create our own format similar to that of trustwallet, but with token symbols added to all subfolders... So directory structure is more manageable.
Create build scripts, that will update our list from the trustwallet repo, in developer-friendly manner. It should find conficts (coins that were changed on our side, but don't match the coins in trustwallet repo).

We should also need to move to SVG coin logos. A good repo for coin logos is here:
