@Skyge Can the token name and symbol be the same?

if they can be the same, it is not recommended that the symbol be greater than 7 characters

Thank you.
Could you please let me know why the token has a name and symbol?
One of them is not enough?

they are really optional , they only improve the handling of the token in the user interfaces .
