Hi team, I’m working on a wallet integration. We would need to know if the name or the symbol of a token may change after being created. Would the id, `0x288710173f12f677ac38b0c2b764a0fea8108cb5e32059c3dd8f650d65e2cb25::pepe::PEPE` as example, change?

No, the currency typename will not change. What can change is only the `CoinMetadata` ([source](https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui/blob/main/crates/sui-framework/packages/sui-framework/sources/coin.move#L45-L62)) in case it isn’t frozen.

Right, id does not change but the meta (decimals, name and symbol) may change. How often changing meta happens. It’s not trivial for a wallet to migrate decimals if data is not stored in the “base” unit (e.g stored in BTC rather than sats)

Please let me know how often decimals are changed, this could be problematic for our wallets
