Great job! If you can just rebase, then I will merge.

Solved conflicts, should be good now.

Just curious on this, is the file at https://mycryptoapi.com/api/v1/assets.json stored in a git repository somewhere? I saw https://github.com/MyCryptoHQ/assets/blob/master/assets/assets.json, but this only looks like input to the final file hosted under the API.

Our use case is similar in that we used to embed a list of verified tokens in our frontend: https://github.com/aragon/aragon-apps/blob/master/apps/agent/app/src/lib/verified-tokens.js

This new api basically just periodically combines two open-source repos atm. We pull the token data from https://github.com/ethereum-lists/tokens/tree/master/tokens and then we add on some of the relevant 3rd party api mappings (coingecko ids, cryptocompare ids, coincap ids) from https://github.com/MyCryptoHQ/assets/blob/master/assets/assets.json

It should also be noted that we have always only pulled from the ethereum-lists/tokens repo. We've been using this script:
parse-eth-tokens --networks all --output ./common/v2/database/data/tokens --exclude 0x5a276Aeb77bCfDAc8Ac6f31BBC7416AE1A85eEF2,0x0027449Bf0887ca3E431D263FFDeFb244D95b555,

to pull from there. parse-eth-tokens is https://github.com/MyCryptoHQ/parse-eth-tokens
