For me It's a bit confusing the doc is stating that Neo GAS is used for payments in NeoFS (here https://fs.neo.org/#payments).
Because in fact when you look at your balance the asset named GAS is not used but It's the one named NEOFS. And then there is a bridge between GAS (N3) <-> NEOFS (NeoFS). I'm wondering if It would be clearer is It was renamed like this:

GAS -> fsGAS (or something else)
NEOFS -> GAS

It could also solve confusion when you import NeoFS network on NEON wallet for example which is mismatching GAS/NEOFS prices due to naming. By the way It could be nice to have NeoFS mainnet/testnet available as networks on NEON by default and make It possible to import on Neoline (for now It doesn't seem to work)?
But probably there is some advantage in the current naming I didn't realize that's why I'm tagging this as a question.

GAS -> fsGAS (or something else)

This can't be done. It's GAS in the same way testnet has GAS, it's a native token.

NEOFS -> GAS

However calling this fsGAS is something that we can think of, because "NEOFS" doesn't make much sense, we better signify that it's still GAS, just in another form (like fUSDT or wBTC). Technically, it'd be against NEP-17 though.
