Replace IBC token names w/ actual names

[Wgil]

Dear team,

I would like to know if it's possible to rename IBC tokens w/ a given name. As you can see here https://testnet.ping.pub/elys/account/elys1u8c28343vvhwgwhf29w6hlcz73hvq7lwxmrl46

There are some tokens which name start with IBC. I would like to change this to their actual names USDC, etc. I tried adding the info to my chain definition locally without success. How can I do it?

Thank you in advance

We have a solution for it, but have not fully applied on all chains. currently only applied on CosmosHub and Osmosis.

The solutions is:

1. Fetch all IBC Metadatas from the chains,
2. Convert and cache them to a centralized web server.
3. Map the IBC denoms to real Denom.

The difficult thing is that we have to daily fetch the metadatas from all chains.

Would it be possible if I implement it for Elys just like it's done for CosmosHub and Osmosis? Thank you

@liangping Hey, so what do you think about implementing it for elys?

Do you want to be our sponsor?

I just wanted to spend some time implementing this for us is possible. Do you have a rough estimate on how long could it take?
