| name | evm-balance-checker |
| description | Check EVM wallet balances across multiple chains using reliable RPC endpoints. Supports native ETH and ERC20 token balance checks. Use when you need to: (1) Check wallet balance on Ethereum, Base, Polygon, or Arbitrum, (2) Query balances on testnets (Sepolia), (3) Verify funds before transactions, (4) Check balances across multiple chains at once. Includes built-in reliable RPC endpoints to avoid common issues with flaky public nodes. |
EVM Balance Checker
Check wallet balances across Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains using reliable RPC endpoints.
Quick Start
Check a wallet balance on Ethereum Sepolia testnet:
bun scripts/check-balance.ts --address 0x1234...
Check on a specific chain:
bun scripts/check-balance.ts --address 0x1234... --chain base-sepolia
Check balance with tokens:
bun scripts/check-balance.ts --address 0x1234... --tokens
Check all supported chains:
bun scripts/check-balance.ts --address 0x1234... --all
Supported Chains
| Chain | ID | Native Token |
|---|
ethereum-sepolia | Ethereum Sepolia | ETH |
base-sepolia | Base Sepolia | ETH |
ethereum | Ethereum Mainnet | ETH |
base | Base Mainnet | ETH |
polygon | Polygon Mainnet | MATIC |
arbitrum | Arbitrum One | ETH |
Common Options
--address <addr> - Wallet address to check (required)--chain <chain> - Chain to check (default: ethereum-sepolia)--tokens - Check ERC20 token balances (USDC, etc.)--all - Check all supported chains--json - Output as JSON for programmatic use
Examples
Check balance on Ethereum Sepolia:
bun scripts/check-balance.ts --address 0xc54f836CBb4299B828b696Ef56f42edd898b3486
Check on Base Sepolia with tokens:
bun scripts/check-balance.ts --address 0x1234... --chain base-sepolia --tokens
Check across all chains:
bun scripts/check-balance.ts --address 0x1234... --all
JSON output for scripts:
bun scripts/check-balance.ts --address 0x1234... --json
Why This Skill?
Public RPC endpoints can be unreliable - some return wrong data, time out, or have rate limits. This skill uses tested, reliable RPC endpoints to ensure accurate balance checks.
The script automatically:
- Handles wei-to-ETH conversion
- Checks ERC20 token balances (USDC on testnets)
- Tries multiple endpoints if one fails
- Provides clear error messages
Advanced Usage
See references/rpc-endpoints.md for:
- Full list of RPC endpoints
- ERC20 token addresses
- Manual RPC method examples
- Alternative RPC providers
Common Issues
Incorrect balance: Ensure you're checking the right chain. Testnet addresses work on testnets, not mainnet.
Timeout: Some public RPCs can be slow. The script uses fast, reliable endpoints by default.
Zero balance: New wallets or unused addresses show 0. Ensure you have the correct address.
