Units

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

1 soneium = 10¹⁸ wei
1 wei = 10^-18 soneium
1 gwei = 10^-9 soneium

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

Tokens

The Soneium blockchain natively supports tokens.

const accessToken = '<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>';
const coin = 'tsoneium';

async function getFeeEstimate() {
  try {
    await bitgo.authenticateWithAccessToken({ accessToken });
    const res = await bitgo.coin(coin).feeEstimate({ numBlocks: 2 });
