# Guide: Tokens and Serialization

Use concrete token classes from the chain-specific entrypoints.

## EVM token

```ts twoslash
import { EvmToken } from 'sushi/evm'

const USDC = new EvmToken({
  chainId: 1,
  address: '0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48',
  symbol: 'USDC',
  name: 'USD Coin',
  decimals: 6,
})
```

## SVM token

```ts
import { SvmToken } from 'sushi/svm'

const token = new SvmToken({
  chainId: -5,
  address: 'So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112',
  symbol: 'WSOL',
  name: 'Wrapped SOL',
  decimals: 9,
})
```

## Stellar token

```ts
import { StellarToken } from 'sushi/stellar'

const token = new StellarToken({
  chainId: -4,
  address: 'C...',
  issuer: 'G...',
  symbol: 'USDC',
  name: 'USD Coin',
  decimals: 7,
})
```

## MVM token

```ts
import { MvmToken } from 'sushi/mvm'

const token = new MvmToken({
  chainId: -1,
  address: '0x1::aptos_coin::AptosCoin',
  symbol: 'APT',
  name: 'Aptos Coin',
  decimals: 8,
})
```

## Serialize and parse

```ts twoslash
import { EvmToken, serializedEvmTokenSchema } from 'sushi/evm'

const USDC = new EvmToken({
  chainId: 1,
  address: '0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48',
  symbol: 'USDC',
  name: 'USD Coin',
  decimals: 6,
})

const json = USDC.toJSON()
const parsed = serializedEvmTokenSchema().parse(json)
const restored = EvmToken.fromJSON(parsed)
```

Token constructors normalize addresses where supported. Use serialized schemas when reading token JSON from storage or user-controlled input.
