Token metadata

Token metadata is the set of descriptive attributes for a crypto token, such as its name, symbol, decimals, supply, and contract address.

Raw balances are just integers until metadata gives them meaning: decimals tell you where the decimal point sits, symbol and name label the asset, and supply figures let you compute market cap or FDV. Without correct metadata a wallet cannot show human-readable amounts. Our token metadata primitive resolves these fields per contract in a cheap read, so a caller enriching balances, prices or transfers can render them correctly and derive supply-based valuations.
