## How Piconero uses it

- The symbol marks the **currency XMR** (balances, amounts, prices in XMR, deposits and withdrawals, the ticker). wXMR on Solana shows
  the same symbol with a small round "on Solana" badge in the corner (as wallets do for wrapped tokens); the symbol itself is unchanged.
- It is never merged with, recolored into, or used as the Piconero logo. Piconero's own mark lives in `public/brand/` and stays
  visually distinct.
- Using the symbol does not mean that The Monero Project endorses Piconero. It doesn't.
