Units

Each Sonic is comprised of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1018) wei, so not even a single sonic can be stored numerically without exceeding the range of JavaScript numbers. Gas fees are denoted in gwei.

  • 1 sonic = 1018 wei
  • 1 wei = 10-18 sonic
  • 1 gwei = 10-9 sonic

For that reason, only string balance properties are available, which are balanceString, confirmedBalanceString, and spendableBalanceString.

Tokens

The Sonic blockchain natively supports tokens.
