# Meta and Utility Commands

> Wallet, schema, version, and completion command reference.

## `wallet balance`

Query native or ERC-20 token balances by address and chain. Uses `eth_getBalance` for native tokens and ERC-20 `balanceOf` for tokens. No API key required; uses on-chain RPC reads.

```bash theme={null}
defi wallet balance --chain 1 --address 0xYourEOA --results-only
defi wallet balance --chain 8453 --address 0xYourEOA --asset USDC --results-only
```

Flags:

* `--chain string` required — chain identifier
* `--address string` required — account address
* `--asset string` optional — token symbol/address/CAIP-19 (omit for native balance)
* `--rpc-url string` optional — RPC URL override

Caveats:

* EVM chains only; Solana is not yet supported.
* Does not query pending/unconfirmed balances.

## `schema [command path]`

Print machine-readable command schema.

```bash theme={null}
defi schema --results-only
defi schema "swap quote" --results-only
defi schema "transfer plan" --results-only
```

Schema output includes:

* inherited and local flags
* typed defaults plus `required`, `enum`, `format`, and `scope`
* command metadata such as `mutation`, `input_modes`, `input_constraints`, `auth`, and request/response structure hints when available
* mutation commands advertise whether they accept `flags`, `json`, `file`, and `stdin` input modes

Common `input_constraints` examples:

* `exactly_one_of` for mutually exclusive identity or amount inputs
* `required` for provider-specific inputs that only apply on some routes
* `forbidden` for inputs that must not be combined with a selected provider/runtime

## `version`

Print CLI version.

```bash theme={null}
defi version
defi version --long
```

## `completion`

Generate shell completion scripts.

```bash theme={null}
defi completion zsh
defi completion bash
defi completion fish
defi completion powershell
```

## Cache bypass behavior

`version`, `schema`, and `providers list` bypass cache initialization.
