Auto-calculate TokenInfo about cosmjs HOT 4 CLOSED

Any kind of automation depends on the implementation of ADR 024: Coin Metadata.

Good approach for the connection. However, the problem is we also need it in the codec, which is synchonous and can exist without a connection.

I don't see a big issue in passing a TokenConfiguration when creating a connection. That happens in one place per application.

Okay, yeah, this is going to be a nightmare to untangle. Like you need this before you connect, but you need a connection to get this info...

I would like to revisit this later once we have a stable app on top to reduce overhead, but not worth putting in more than an hour now.

Closing since TokenInfo does not exist anymore in CosmJS. App developers are now responsible for finding a representation of a amount/denom pair that is intuitive depending on the use case. This can be done by hardcoding supported tokens or using ADR 024: Coin Metadata. The Decimal class from @cosmjs/math make this easy.
