Feat: Implement Secondary Network ERC20 Token #2

@JamesVictor-O

Description

@JamesVictor-O

Objective

Create and deploy an ERC20 token on a secondary EVM-compatible network that will function as the counterpart token in our cross-chain bridge system.

Requirements

  1. Design and implement a standard-compliant ERC20 token contract
  2. Ensure naming consistency with the Base network token while indicating network differentiation
  3. Include necessary token features:
    • Minting/burning capability for bridge operations
    • Transfer functions
    • Approval mechanisms
    • Bridge-specific roles and permissions
  4. Deploy the token to the selected EVM-compatible network's test environment

Technical Specifications

  • Use the same OpenZeppelin ERC20 foundation as the Base network token
  • Maintain consistent decimals and token economics across both networks
  • Implement bridge-specific functionality for minting/burning during cross-chain transfers
  • Configure proper role-based access control for bridge operations

Network Selection

  • Evaluate and recommend an appropriate EVM-compatible network (options include Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, etc.)
  • Document network-specific considerations (gas costs, finality times, security assumptions)
  • Justify the selection based on bridge requirements and user experience

Testing Requirements

  • Write comprehensive unit tests covering all token functionalities
  • Test integration with bridge contract (mock integration if needed)
  • Test bridge-specific operations (minting/burning)
  • Document test coverage metrics

Deliverables

  • Solidity contract for the ERC20 token
  • Test suite with >95% coverage
  • Deployment scripts for the selected network's testnet
  • Documentation explaining network selection and any network-specific adaptations

Notes

  • Consider gas optimization for the selected network
  • Ensure token parameters are consistent with the Base network token
  • Document any network-specific features or limitations
