Description

### What is this about?

We now keep track of token balances in the background. The UI token polling performed by the `eth-token-tracker` package is now redundant and should be replaced to simplify the codebase and improve performance.

We've already created a drop-in replacement for the `useTokenTracker` hook, it just hasn't been introduced everywhere yet.
