`SuperchainERC20` is a token standard designed to enable asset interoperability in the Superchain.
`SuperchainERC20` is designed to enable asset interoperability in the Superchain.
Asset interoperability allows for tokens to securely move across chains without asset wrapping or liquidity pools for maximal capital efficiency, thus unifying liquidity and simplifying the user experience.

Additional features:

* **Simplified deployments**: Provides a consistent, unified standard for tokens across all Superchain-compatible networks and a common crosschain interface for the EVM ecosystem at large.
* **Simplified deployments**: Provides a consistent, unified implementation for tokens across all Superchain-compatible networks and a common crosschain interface for the EVM ecosystem at large.
* **Permissionless propagation**: Easily clone an existing token contract to a new OP Stack chain using `create2` without requiring the original owner, which enables movement of assets to the new chain once Interop goes live. Importantly, permissionless propagation retains the integrity of the original owner on the contract and preserves security but proliferates the contract's availability to new chains.
* **Ethereum-aligned**: Intentionally designed to be generic and supported as an Ethereum-wide standard (RIP coming soon).

## How it works

`SuperchainERC20` token standard facilitates secure token transfers between chains in the Superchain networks via native burning and minting.
`SuperchainERC20` facilitates secure token transfers between chains in the Superchain networks via native burning and minting.

* **Token Burning**: Initiating message where token is **burned** on the source chain. A user initiates a transfer of token from one blockchain to another and specifies the recipient wallet address on the destination chain. A specified amount of token is burned on the source chain.
* **Token Minting**: Executing message where token is **minted** on the destination chain. The specified amount of token is minted on the destination chain directly to the recipient wallet address.

* **Factory Predeploy**: uses a `create2`-based factory for deploying `SuperchainERC20` tokens consistently across chains.
* **Bridging Functions**: using methods like `sendERC20` and `relayERC20` for cross-chain transfers.

## Comparison to other standards

`SuperchainERC20` differs from other token standards in its focus and implementation:
`SuperchainERC20` differs from other token implementations in its focus and implementation:

* `SuperchainERC20` has minimal differentiation from a standard ERC20 deployment, only requiring a minimal crosschain mint/burn interface, which aims to be a common pattern for the EVM ecosystem (RIP coming soon).
* `SuperchainERC20` has minimal differentiation from an ERC20 deployment, only requiring a minimal crosschain mint/burn interface, which aims to be a common pattern for the EVM ecosystem (RIP coming soon).
* `SuperchainERC20` shares trust assumptions across all chains in the Superchain, such that custom assumptions around security and latency are not required to account for when executing transfers.

1. Permission only `SuperchainERC20Bridge` to call `crosschainMint` and `crosschainBurn`.
2. Deployment at same address on every chain in the Superchain using `create2` function.

For now, application developers should view `SuperchainERC20`as standard ERC20 tokens with additional built-in functions that allow cross-chain asset movement that will be enabled once Interop goes live.
