So - this is actually interesting and useful.

Declaring an interest… I’d be open to executing token transactions on the Bitcoin Cash chain (yes in spite of the vilification and mixed reaction to it’s very existence more broadly).

What issues might need to be overcome and what reference implementation code might be looked at for this?
