# Account Balance

/blockchain-v2/{asset}/accounts/{account}/balance-updates

The account balance endpoint allows users to query balance-updates and counter-parties by account with a single request. The endpoint will include full account transaction history and counter-party data.

| denomination                      | The denomination of the balance update. Only present for assets that support multiple denominations, and only when the denomination differs from the asset's default. See [Multi-Denomination Assets](/network-data/atlas-overview.md#multi-denomination-assets). |

## Multi-Denomination Assets

Certain Atlas assets track activity across many independent sub-tokens rather than a single fixed denomination. For these assets, the `denomination` field in each balance update identifies the specific sub-token the update applies to. The sub-token is identified by its contract address.

When `denomination` is absent from a balance update, the update's denomination is the asset's default (its symbol, e.g. `btc`).

### Morpho Vault Assets

Morpho Vault assets (`MORPHO_VAULTS_ETH`, `MORPHO_VAULTS_BASE`, `MORPHO_VAULTS_ARB`, `MORPHO_VAULTS_AVAXC`, `MORPHO_VAULTS_OP`) aggregate ERC-4626 vault token activity across all MetaMorpho vaults deployed on the respective chain. Each vault is an independent ERC-20 token with its own contract address and decimal precision.

For these assets:

* The `denomination` field contains the vault's contract address as a lowercase 40-character hex string (no `0x` prefix).
* The `change`, `new_balance`, and `previous_balance` values are expressed in the vault's own share token units (scaled by that vault's decimals).
* Balances across different denominations are not directly comparable because each vault's share token represents a different underlying asset.

**Example:** The steakUSDC vault on Ethereum (`0xBEEF01735c132Ada46AA9aA4c54623cAA92A64CB`) appears as denomination `beef01735c132ada46aa9aa4c54623caa92a64cb` in balance updates for `MORPHO_VAULTS_ETH`.

### Filtering by Denomination

The balance updates endpoint accepts a `denominations` query parameter (a comma-separated list of denomination values) to return only balance updates for specific sub-tokens:

```
/blockchain-v2/{asset}/balance-updates?denominations={vault_contract_address}
```

For example, to retrieve only balance updates for the steakUSDC vault on Ethereum:

```
/blockchain-v2/morpho_vaults_eth/balance-updates?denominations=beef01735c132ada46aa9aa4c54623caa92a64cb
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://gitbook-docs.coinmetrics.io/network-data/atlas-overview/account-balance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
