I’ve been testing wASTR with CCIP lately.. (Using the d8a platform)  
Today I thought I would test some unwrapping.

So I find the unwrapper on the portal (which links to [arthswap](https://app.arthswap.org/#/swap)):

But it says I don’t have any wASTR..  
So I check the code and it turns out that [Chainlink](https://docs.chain.link/ccip/directory/mainnet/chain/polkadot-mainnet-astar) uses a different version of wASTR:  
[0x37795FdD8C165CaB4D6c05771D564d80439CD093](https://astar.blockscout.com/token/0x37795FdD8C165CaB4D6c05771D564d80439CD093)  
(Total supply: 340,427,192)

[Coingecko](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/wrapped-astr) and [arthswap](https://app.arthswap.org/#/swap) shows wASTR as:  
[0xaeaaf0e2c81af264101b9129c00f4440ccf0f720](https://astar.blockscout.com/token/0xAeaaf0e2c81Af264101B9129C00F4440cCF0F720)  
(Total supply: 35,144,697)

I’m not really sure what the best solution going forward is but this can create a lot of confusion for dapp developers and users..  
So I think a simplification is needed..

My suggestion is to reach out to both wASTR projects and see if one will make a change..

Thanks
