The TokenClient is a standard interface for interactions with methods and events described in Token.sol. These interactions are extended from the ERC20 and DSToken standard token interfaces and are generally concerned with managing the native token assigned to a colony. This includes operations such as minting tokens, burning tokens, and transferring tokens.

See Clients for more information about initializing TokenClient.

See ContractClient for more information about the ContractClient superclass.

Input

Response

A promise which resolves to an object containing the following properties:

Contract Information

Contract: base.sol

getBalanceOf

Get the the token balance of an address.

await tokenClient.getBalanceOf.call({
  sourceAddress,
});

Input

Response

A promise which resolves to an object containing the following properties:

Contract Information

Function: balanceOf

await tokenClient.burn.send({
  address,
  amount,
}, options);

Input

Options

See Sender for more information about options.

Response
