 ### Currency Declaration
 
-A TIP-20 token can declare a currency identifier (e.g., `"USD"`, `"EUR"`) that identifies the real-world asset backing the token. This enables proper routing and pricing in Tempo's [Stablecoin DEX](/protocol/exchange). USD-denominated TIP-20 tokens can be used to pay transaction fees and serve as quote tokens in the DEX.

+Stablecoin currency identifiers should be [ISO 4217](https://www.iso.org/iso-4217-currency-codes.html) three-letter currency codes. Common examples include:
+
+| Code  | Currency               |
+|-------|------------------------|
+| `USD` | United States Dollar   |
+| `EUR` | Euro                   |
+| `GBP` | British Pound Sterling |
+| `JPY` | Japanese Yen           |
+| `SGD` | Singapore Dollar       |
+| `BRL` | Brazilian Real         |
+| `AED` | UAE Dirham             |
+
+The `currency` field represents the **denomination**, not the token itself — multiple tokens can share the same currency code:
+
+| Token         | Correct `currency` | Incorrect `currency` |
+|---------------|---------------------|----------------------|
+| USDC          | `"USD"`          | `"USDC"`           |
+| USDT          | `"USD"`          | `"USDT"`          |
+| PYUSD         | `"USD"`          | `"PYUSD"`          |
+| EURC          | `"EUR"`          | `"EURC"`           |
+
+:::warning
+The currency code is **immutable** — it cannot be changed after token creation. An incorrect currency code will affect fee payment eligibility, DEX routing, and quote token pairing.

 ## Currencies and Quote Tokens
-Each TIP-20 token declares a currency identifier and a corresponding `quoteToken` used for pricing and routing in the Stablecoin DEX. Tokens with `currency == "USD"` must pair with a USD-denominated TIP-20 token.

 1. `setNextQuoteToken` stages a new quote token.
