Anyone have any insight behind the name jetton? I googled the definition of if and I guess I can kind of see the point of it. I searched in the token standard issue in the TIPs repo to see if there was any insight behind the choice of that name and didn’t really find anything
(Edit: and ya I decided this dev channel would be the best / most appropriate place to ask, as opposed to general chat or something. If that was a bad choice lmk)

my personal guess is that jetton is how you pronounce the word "token" translated to Russian.
You can listen to it in the translator: https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=ru&text=token&op=translate

Oh ha well there you go lol. As a native English speaker who doesn’t know any other languages I’ve never heard or seen the word jetton before but apparently it’s a legit one with a meaning that does have some relationship to tokens haha

Token in Russian is жетон (written in Russian alphabet as Jeton) with the J pronounced as the Zs at the beginning of Zsa Zsa Gabor if you happen to know her. She lived to 100 years!
