So, if you want to build or scale a cryptocurrency wallet, portfolio tracker, or any other Web3 platform, join us throughout this guide. Now, let’s dive straight in! 

Exploring Crypto Wallet Net Worth

The net worth of a cryptocurrency wallet refers to the total value of all assets stored in the portfolio, including native, ERC20, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This is an important metric that cryptocurrency wallets, tax tools, portfolio trackers, and other projects integrate into their platforms!

Calculating the net worth of a wallet is a tedious and time-consuming task. It typically involves manually collecting data across multiple blockchain networks, resulting in separate calls for ERC20 token balances, native balances, prices, and not to mention NFTs. The result of this is a complex workflow that demands a lot of development time and can lead to thousands of thousands of API calls.

But there has to be a better way, right? 

To streamline this process, we introduced the Wallet Net Worth endpoint to Moralis’ Wallet API. With this endpoint, you can now seamlessly and accurately get ERC20 wallet net worth data and automatically calculate the net worth with just one single API call!

So, how does this work?

Get ERC20 Wallet Net Worth with a Single API Call 

With Moralis’ Wallet Net Worth endpoint, you can now effortlessly and accurately get the wallet net worth of any address with a few lines of code. To showcase the accessibility of working with our APIs, check out the simple script below for calling the endpoint in question: 

import fetch from 'node-fetch';

const options = {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    accept: 'application/json',
    'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'
  },
};

fetch('https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/wallets/0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045/net-worth?chains%5B0%5D=eth&chains%5B1%5D=polygon&exclude_spam=true&exclude_unverified_contracts=true', options)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(response => console.log(response))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

All you have to do before running the script above yourself is to install the required dependencies, replace YOUR_API_KEY, configure the address parameter, specify the chains you wish to include, and run the script. 

In the query above, we set both exclude_spam and exclude_unverified_contracts to true. That way, we can remove spam tokens and unverified contracts from the response. 

In return for running the script above, you’ll get a response that looks something like this:

{
  "total_networth_usd": "4286806.08",
  "chains": [
    {
      "chain": "eth",
      "native_balance": "1085515469813080189177",
      "native_balance_formatted": "1085.515469813080189177",
      "native_balance_usd": "3550067.16",
      "token_balance_usd": "735008.04",
      "networth_usd": "4285075.20"
    },
    {
      "chain": "polygon",
      "native_balance": "426857449018746625825",
      "native_balance_formatted": "426.857449018746625825",
      "native_balance_usd": "445.31",
      "token_balance_usd": "1285.57",
      "networth_usd": "1730.88"
    }
  ]
}

As you can see, this simple yet sophisticated response includes both the total net worth of the ERC20 wallet and separate metrics for each chain specified in the query. From here, you can now seamlessly integrate this data into any of your projects!

In-Depth Tutorial: How to Get the Net Worth of Any ERC20 Wallet in 3 Steps 

With an overview of our premier endpoint, we’ll now show you how to get a wallet’s ERC20 net worth in three simple steps: 

  • Step 1: Fetch Your Moralis API Key
  • Step 2: Write a Script Calling the Wallet Net Worth Endpoint
  • Step 3: Run the Code

However, before we can proceed, you need to take care of a few essential prerequisites! 

Prerequisites

In today’s tutorial, we’ll be using JavaScript and Node.js. As such, if you haven’t already, make sure you have the following ready: 

  • Node.js v14+
  • Npm/Yarn

Step 1: Fetch Your Moralis API Key

The first thing you’ll need is a Moralis account. As such, start by signing up with Moralis by clicking on the sign-up button at the top right of Moralis’ homepage: 

Step 1 to get ERC20 wallet net worth: Sign up with Moralis for free

Next, go to the ”Settings” tab, find the ”API Keys” section, and copy your key: 

Step 1 Continued: Copy ERC2- Wallet Net Worth Endpoint API Key inside the Moralis admin UI

Please save it for now, as you’ll need it in the next section.

Step 2: Write a Script Calling the Wallet Net Worth Endpoint

Open your preferred IDE and set up a folder. Next, launch a new terminal and run the following command to initialize a project: 

npm init

Run the following commands in the terminal to install the required dependencies: 

npm install node-fetch --save
npm install moralis @moralisweb3/common-evm-utils

You can then open your ”package.json” file and add ”type”: ”module” to the list: 

Step 2: open your ”package.json” file and add ”type”: ”module” to the list

Next, create an ”index.js” file and add this code: 

import fetch from 'node-fetch';

const options = {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    accept: 'application/json',
    'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'
  },
};

fetch('https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/wallets/0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045/net-worth?chains%5B0%5D=eth&chains%5B1%5D=polygon&exclude_spam=true&exclude_unverified_contracts=true', options)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(response => console.log(response))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

From here, you will need to configure the code slightly. Start by adding your Moralis API key by replacing YOUR_API_KEY:

Step 2 continued: replace the parameter with your coped API key

Then, you can also configure the parameters of your query. For instance, you can swap the address if you wish to query another wallet, and you can add additional chains if you want to include tokens from other networks:

Step 2 continued: showing examples of chains to choose from when getting the ERC20 net worth of a wallet

Also, note that we include exclude_spam and exclude_unverified_contracts as parameters and set them to true. That way, our results will exclude spam tokens and non-verified contracts. 

That’s it; you’re now ready to run the code! 

Step 3: Run the Code

Open a new terminal and run this command in the root folder of the project to execute the code: 

node index.js

In return, you’ll get a response including the total net worth of the wallet, along with the separate values for each chain included in the query. Here’s an example of what it might look like: 

{
  "total_networth_usd": "4286806.08",
  "chains": [
    {
      "chain": "eth",
      "native_balance": "1085515469813080189177",
      "native_balance_formatted": "1085.515469813080189177",
      "native_balance_usd": "3550067.16",
      "token_balance_usd": "735008.04",
      "networth_usd": "4285075.20"
    },
    {
      "chain": "polygon",
      "native_balance": "426857449018746625825",
      "native_balance_formatted": "426.857449018746625825",
      "native_balance_usd": "445.31",
      "token_balance_usd": "1285.57",
      "networth_usd": "1730.88"
    }
  ]
}

With this data, you can now seamlessly get ERC20 wallet net worth data and integrate it into your projects!
