erc20

Inspect ERC20 balances, transfer tokens, and set allowances. Token arguments accept either a known label or a raw address.

beam erc20 groups the ERC20-specific subcommands. The token argument accepts either a known label (USDC, USDT, or anything you've added via beam tokens add) or a raw token address.

Usage

$ beam erc20 balance <token> [name|address|ens]
$ beam erc20 transfer <token> <to> <amount>
$ beam erc20 approve <token> <spender> <amount>

Examples

$ beam --chain arbitrum erc20 balance USDT
$ beam --chain base erc20 balance 0xTokenAddress alice.eth

$ beam erc20 transfer USDC 0x1111... 25
$ beam erc20 transfer 0xTokenAddress 0xRecipient 25

$ beam erc20 approve USDT 0xSpender 1000

Notes

Amounts are in the token's display units (e.g. 25 USDC = 25 USDC, not 25 × 10^6 wei).
Beam rejects decimal precisions above 77 when converting human-readable values to on-chain integer units.
Write commands wait for a mined receipt by default. Press Ctrl-C to stop waiting without losing the submitted hash.
For arbitrary contract calls (any ABI, not just ERC20), use beam send and beam call.
