Given the success and popularity of custom native token chains like Degen and Ham, and our collaboration with /ethxy, we've been getting a lot of questions about about how chains using custom native tokens work.

	3.	How rollups support them and what they require
	4.	Differences in how they are implemented by rollups

Without further ado...
