Skip to main contentThe Solana Token Balances APIs enable you to retrieve the balances of Solana addresses.
This includes SPL tokens and the native SOL token of the network.
Denomination
-
‘amount’ is denominated in the smallest indivisible unit of the token. For SOL, the smallest indivisible unit is lamports (10^-9 SOL). For SPL tokens, the smallest unit is defined by the token’s decimals configuration.
-
‘decimals’ is the exponential value N that satisfies the equation
amount * 10^-N = standard_denomination. The standard denomination is the most commonly used denomination for the token.
- For native SOL,
decimals is 9 (1 SOL = 10^9 lamports).
- For SPL tokens,
decimals is defined in the token’s mint configuration.
