* Deploy the `SuperchainERC0` at the same address on every chain in the Superchain where you want your token to be available. If you do not deploy the contract to a specific destination chain, users will be unable to successfully move their tokens to that chain.

<Callout type="warning">
111111
To ensure security, you must either design the deployer to allow only a specific trusted ERC-20 contract, such as `SuperchainERC20`, to be deployed through it, or call `CREATE2` to deploy the contract directly from an EOA you control.
112112

113113
This precaution is critical because if an unauthorized ERC-20 contract is deployed at the same address on any Superchain network, it could allow malicious actors to mint unlimited tokens and bridge them to the network where the original ERC-20 contract resides.

## Comparison to other token implementations

118-
`SuperchainERC20` differs from other token implementations in both focus and design:
119-
120-
* It implements `ERC-7802`, a minimal cross-chain mint/burn interface designed to establish a common standard across the EVM ecosystem.
121-
* It relies on the shared trust assumptions of the Superchain. All traffic originating from any chain within the Superchain is trusted because these chains [share the same security standard](/superchain/standard-configuration).

Projects moving from other token implementations may need to adapt to the `SuperchainERC20` specification.

## FAQ
128-
129-
### What happens if I bridge to a chain that does not have the ERC-20 contract?
130-
131-
The initiating message will successfully burn the tokens on the source chain.
132-
However, the executing message will fail because it attempts to call `crosschainMint` on a non-existent contract.
133-
Once a `SuperchainERC20` contract is properly deployed on the destination chain, you can retry the executing message to retrieve your tokens.
