Get metadata of a fungible token
Fungible tokens can carry associated metadata, which is a set of data that provides information about the token's properties. Although each token is indistinguishable in value, metadata can specify attributes such as the token's name, symbol, or total supply. In the realm of cryptocurrencies, metadata is often used to create a clearer understanding of the token's purpose or functionality. For instance, a utility token's metadata might detail the specific service or access it provides within its platform. Similarly, a governance token's metadata could illustrate the voting rights or privileges it conveys in a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO). Thus, metadata provides essential context, enhancing the fungible tokens' usability in diverse scenarios.
Use the TatumSDK (
@tatumio/tatum) to get the token metadata.TypeScript
