eth-scan

eth-scan is a library written in TypeScript, to help you fetch Ether or (ERC-20) token balances for multiple addresses in an efficient way. The library uses a smart contract to fetch the balances in a single call to a node. The contract is currently deployed at 0x82Ea2E7834Bb0D6224dd6fd7125d44b83d6D6809 on the Ethereum mainnet.

It can use Web3.js, Ethers.js or regular HTTP as provider to get the balances. See Getting Started for more info.

Note: Even though eth_call doesn't use any gas, the block gas limit still applies, and the maximum number of addresses you can fetch in a single call is limited. By default this library batches calls per 1000 addresses.

Getting started

The library is published on npm. To install it, use npm or yarn:

yarn add eth-scan

or

npm install eth-scan

Example

import EthScan, { HttpProvider } from 'eth-scan';

const scanner = new EthScan(new HttpProvider('http://127.0.0.1:8545'));

scanner.getEtherBalances([
  '0x9a0decaffb07fb500ff7e5d253b16892dbec006a',
  '0xeb65f72a2f5464157288ac15f1bb56c56e6be375',
  '0x1b96c634f9e9fcfb76932e165984901701352ffd',
  '0x740539b55ee5dc58efffb88fea44a9008f8daa6f',
  '0x95d9e32dc03770699a6a5e5858165b174d500015'
]).then(console.log);

Results in:

{
  '0x9a0decaffb07fb500ff7e5d253b16892dbec006a': 1000000000000000000n,
  '0xeb65f72a2f5464157288ac15f1bb56c56e6be375': 1000000000000000000n,
  '0x1b96c634f9e9fcfb76932e165984901701352ffd': 1000000000000000000n,
  '0x740539b55ee5dc58efffb88fea44a9008f8daa6f': 1000000000000000000n,
  '0x95d9e32dc03770699a6a5e5858165b174d500015': 1000000000000000000n
}

Note that this library uses the native JavaScript BigInt type, which currently does not work in all browsers. Use a polyfill if your application requires support for other browsers.
