Tag parent chains of tokens as native instead of using the token standard #2537

Description

@gcharang

Right now, we tag the native ETH on ETH chain as ERC20 in the current web wallet

this can be confusing as ERC20 is a token standard and the native ETH coin isn't made using ERC20. also, this naming convention seems to be popularised by CEXs

from: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/187iq7f/ethereum_erc20_vs_ethereum_eth_question/kbhrn8n/

So I suppose you're trying to exit your ETH from a CEX. If you want to send it onchain directly (on the Ethereum blockchain), send it to whatever they call "Ethereum / ETH / ERC-20" address. All these terms are not synonyms but some platforms tend to mix them. You can create a such Ethereum adress by installing metamask extension on your Browser.

So, I think we should start tagging ETH, MATIC etc., as Native

Also, when a user has a PLG20 token and no MATIC-PLG20, the error when withdrawing just says missing Matic. It should specify MATIC-PLG20. There was a user who had MATIC-ERC20 and was confused
