Types: Token
​
Token is a class which can represent any ERC20-compatible token on any given network, and is a data class.
The Synapse Protocol SDK provides pre-defined Token instances for all tokens supported by the Synapse Protocol on all supported networks in the Tokens namespace, which is easily imported like so:
import {Tokens, ChainId} from "@synapseprotocol/sdk";
​
console.log(Tokens.USDC.address(ChainId.BSC));
You should not expect to ever have to instantiate a Token manually, and using a manually instantiated Token with various functions in the SDK will likely cause undefined behavior, as all compatible bridge tokens are pre-instantiated.

Instance variables

Unless otherwise specified, all instance variables are read only and set by the constructor.
  • name (string) - The "official" name of the token. Example: "USD Circle" (for USDC)
  • symbol (string) - Symbol the token is known by both on and off-chain. Examples: "USDT" (Tether's USD stablecoin), "DOGE" (for Dogecoin)
  • addresses ({ [chainId: number] => string }) - This field is similarly shaped to decimals, in that it is a mapping with shape chain id => address for chain (string), containing the on-chain addresses of this token for respective Chain ID values.

Functions

  • address
    • Returns the on-chain address of this token respective to the passed Chain ID.
    • Params:
      • chainId: number - Chain ID of the chain for which you want this token's on-chain address.
    • Returns:
      • string
      • The on-chain address of this token respective to network, or null if the token is not supported by the Synapse Protocol on the given network.
  • decimals
    • Returns the on-chain decimals value of this token respective to the passed ChainID.
    • Params:
      • chainId: number - Chain ID of the chain for which you want this token's on-chain decimals.
    • Returns:
      • number
      • The on-chain decimals value of this token respective to network, or null if the token is not supported by the Synapse Protocol on the given network.
