normalizeTokenSymbol(symbol): string

Normalizes a token symbol for API submission

Used during token creation to prepare user-provided token symbols for API validation. Removes whitespace and converts to uppercase.

Distinction from normalizeTokenKey():

• normalizeTokenKey: Cache keys (includes additional transformations)
• normalizeTokenSymbol: User input preparation (pure trim + uppercase)

Current normalizations:

• .trim() - Remove leading/trailing whitespace
• .toUpperCase() - Convert to uppercase

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
symbol	string	The token symbol to normalize

Returns

string

Normalized symbol (trimmed and uppercased)

Example

import { normalizeTokenSymbol } from '../utils/tokenNameNormalizer';

const symbol = normalizeTokenSymbol('  gala  ');
console.log(symbol); // 'GALA'
