This PR introduces a new ERC that defines an optional metadata extension to ERC-20, enabling a single fungible token contract to expose multiple contextual alias names and symbols.

The proposal preserves ERC-20’s canonical identity and economic semantics while allowing applications, wallets, agents, and multi-tenant platforms to resolve alternative human-readable identifiers for the same underlying token contract in a verifiable and interoperable manner.

Key properties of this proposal:

  • Fully backward compatible with ERC-20
  • Does not modify balances, transfers, approvals, or supply invariants
  • Aliases are explicitly non-canonical and metadata-only
  • Supports context-scoped naming for multi-application and intent-aware environments
  • Designed for on-chain resolution and deterministic client behavior

This extension is intended to standardize what is currently handled off-chain and ad hoc, reducing ambiguity, broken integrations, and inconsistent UX across ecosystems.
