What's the de facto process for token ticker symbols these days?

i.e. how do prevent collisions? How does it work across Ethereum vs. Solana? Is CoinGecko the loose consensus canonical source of truth?

no process, cultural consensus decides the winner

So where does that happen? Twitter? Uniswap? Farcaster?

Happens by volume and liquidity of the pools for that token.

So happens onchain!

Building /stokefire a mobile strategy game onchain. Run and own poolfish.xyz a calculator for LP providers. Built Potion solo and sold for $300k.

yeah i would say the market decides, i think "canon" maybe also determined by things like project websites, uniswap verification, dev announcements etc

on twitter for example theres the custom of asking not just for the ticker but for the contract address to verify its the real one

Yea there is always going to be 100s of clones by default, even if there are 2 competing real projects I think it comes down to liquidity and canon. In the future I think people will decide their “home networks” too and that will play a factor, like Base for consumers etc.

I still wonder how such a stupid project like polyhedra got the zk ticker.
