CHAIN
Check balances and decode transactions on Base from the command line
Everything glnc can do on Base: balance lookup, transaction decoding, and live gas. Examples below are copy-pasteable; swap the address or hash for your own.
Quick install
On macOS or Linux:
brew install aryarahimi1/glnc/glncglnc 1.0.9 ready · Base support built in
Balance on Base
glnc auto-detects Base from the address format. To restrict a multi-chain query to Base only, pass --chain base.
glnc balance 0x... --chain base ⬢ BASE (12 tokens)
ETH 0.842 $2,734.50

Decode a Base transaction
Pass a hash and (optionally) --chain base to skip cross-chain probing. glnc decodes calldata and walks token movements out of the receipt logs.
