Read Any ERC-20: Using the Peek Tool & Explorers
The Peek a Token panel in the Lab lets you read basic metadata (name, symbol, decimals) for any ERC-20 on your selected testnet.
Steps
- Open /token-lab/ and pick a testnet (e.g., Ethereum Sepolia).
- Paste a token contract address (starts with
0x
and is 42 chars long). - Click Read. You’ll get an alert with name/symbol/decimals.
Find token addresses
- Use the linked explorer (e.g., Sepolia Etherscan).
- Copy the Contract address from the token page.
What if it fails?
- Make sure you’re on the same testnet where the token was deployed.
- Double-check the address format (
0x
+ 40 hex chars).
