We need to settle down on the terminologies used for different types of tokens:

ERC20 tokens on ethereum
- ERC20 token
CRC20 tokens on Cronos
- CRC20 token
cosmos native tokens on Cronos
- coin
- cosmos token
- native token
The CRO native token on Cronos
- CRO
- gas token

for gas token, I have been using a lot "evm token" as ethermint uses EVM_DENOM for the gas token denomination. But only internally in the code

tomtau commented 2 years ago

for native tokens, also ICS20?

I guess this issue can be resolved by ADR + code refactoring if there's some inconsistent usage (do any of the terms leak into consensus-critical parts, such as network parameters?)
