Suggested Proposal

A Suggested Proposal focuses on retrieving metadata for known categories or identifiers. In many cases, we already have key pieces of information such as a category label or a token address but lack the associated metadata that provides full context or descriptive detail about the entity it belongs to.

The goal is to develop a reliable process for mapping known inputs (e.g., token addresses or category types) to their corresponding metadata, such as names, symbols, descriptions, or other relevant attributes.

This process:

• Enhances data completeness
• Supports downstream applications
• Improves overall usability
