#Naming the contract that make Stellar Assets usable in Soroban

Soroban will ship with a built-in (precompile) contract that exposes Stellar Assets as standard tokens in Soroban. What should we name this contract?

#

Proposal: "Stellar Asset Adapter"

#

In the past we used the terms "Bridged" or "Wrapped" which are technically inaccurate and somewhat confusing

Stellar Asset Contract?

combine them Stellar Asset Adapter Contract Colloquially known as The Saac 😆
I am less concerned with the name than knowing it's functionality but the name should reflect what it is also...

I'm not fond of adapter for the same reason as bridged or wrapped. It suggests that there's this chasm between the token on Soroban and the Stellar Asset. A Stellar Asset is an implementation of the token interface. There's no chasm.

Any particular reason to leave the word "Native" out?
Native Asset Contract

#

But if you think that an import/export actually 'tokenizes' a classic stellar asset (another, perhaps flawed way to look at it) then maybe 'Native Asset Tokenizer Contract'? sure sounds like NAT = network address translation 😄 (private/public IP resolution) from networking
