warp-balances

name	warp-balances
description	Check token balances for each leg of a warp route. Shows collateral locked (for collateral/native legs) and total circulating supply (for synthetic legs). Use when you want to inspect the current state of a warp route's liquidity.

Warp Route Balances

Run hyperlane warp balances to display the token balance of each leg in a warp route.

Usage

hyperlane warp balances \
  --warp-route-id <SYMBOL/chains> \
  --registry <path-or-url>

Options

Flag	Description
--warp-route-id / -w	Warp route ID (e.g. ETH/ethereum-arbitrum). Prompts interactively if omitted.
--registry / -r	Registry path or URL. Defaults to the public Hyperlane registry.
--chains	Filter to specific chains (space-separated).
--out / -o	Write results to a JSON or YAML file.
--address	User address to check balances for. Shows the user's token balance on each chain instead of collateral/supply.
--raw	Show balances in base units (without decimal formatting).

Output columns

Column	Description
(index)	Chain name
Symbol	Token symbol
Standard	Token standard (e.g. EvmHypCollateral, EvmHypSynthetic)
Address	Router contract address
Balance	Collateral locked / circulating supply (default), or user's token balance (with --address)

Instructions

1. Determine the warp route ID and registry to use. If not provided, ask the user.

2. Run the command:

   hyperlane warp balances --warp-route-id <ID> --registry <REGISTRY>
   

3. If the user wants to save the output, add --out balances.json.

4. If the user wants to filter to specific chains:

   hyperlane warp balances --warp-route-id <ID> --registry <REGISTRY> --chains ethereum arbitrum
   

5. If the user wants to check their own token balance on each leg, add --address:

   hyperlane warp balances --warp-route-id <ID> --registry <REGISTRY> --address <USER_ADDRESS>
   

6. If the user wants raw base-unit amounts (no decimal formatting), add --raw:

   hyperlane warp balances --warp-route-id <ID> --registry <REGISTRY> --raw
   

7. Report the balances to the user, noting:

   • Without --address: collateral legs show locked/backing balance; synthetic legs show total circulating supply
   • With --address: every leg shows the user's token balance on that chain
   • --raw applies to all balance values and the mismatch summary (base units, no decimals)
   • Error in the Balance column means the RPC call failed for that leg
   • Without --address: a status line is printed after the table — green if collateral == synthetic total, yellow warning with diff if they diverge

Common use cases

• Sanity check after deployment: verify collateral and synthetic supplies are in sync
• Investigate imbalance: compare collateral locked vs synthetic supply across legs
• Audit liquidity: see how much of the bridged asset is available on each chain
• Check user holdings: see how much of the token a specific address holds on each chain

Example — route liquidity

hyperlane warp balances --warp-route-id USDC/base-optimism --registry ~/hyperlane-registry

Warp route balances:

┌──────────┬────────┬──────────────────────┬────────────┬────────────────┐
│ (index)  │ Symbol │ Standard             │ Address    │ Balance        │
├──────────┼────────┼──────────────────────┼────────────┼────────────────┤
│ base     │ USDC   │ EvmHypCollateral     │ 0x5244...  │ 4,231,876.12   │
│ optimism │ USDC   │ EvmHypSynthetic      │ 0x2DBe...  │ 4,231,876.12   │
└──────────┴────────┴──────────────────────┴────────────┴────────────────┘

Status: collateral matches synthetic supply (4,231,876.12)

Example — user balances

hyperlane warp balances --warp-route-id USDC/base-optimism --registry ~/hyperlane-registry --address 0xYourAddress

Warp route balances for 0xYourAddress:

┌──────────┬────────┬──────────────────────┬────────────┬──────────┐
│ (index)  │ Symbol │ Standard             │ Address    │ Balance  │
├──────────┼────────┼──────────────────────┼────────────┼──────────┤

└──────────┴────────┴──────────────────────┴────────────┴──────────┘

Example — raw base units

hyperlane warp balances --warp-route-id USDC/base-optimism --registry ~/hyperlane-registry --raw

Warp route balances:

┌──────────┬────────┬──────────────────────┬────────────┬───────────────┐
│ (index)  │ Symbol │ Standard             │ Address    │ Balance       │

└──────────┴────────┴──────────────────────┴────────────┴───────────────┘

Status: collateral matches synthetic supply (4231876120000)
