In this post we explain how to check if a certain address holds KGT token. If you do not know what KGT token is for, please read our previous blog post. We show an easy way via Etherscan website, and a programmable way via web3 javascript code.

Etherscan check

  1. Go to etherscan.io
  2. Enter your address at the top right corner and click on Go.

3. Look for the Token Tracker widget and click on View Tokens. If you do not see such widget, then you do not hold KGT (or any other tokens for that matter).

4. See if Kyber Gensis Token is there. You hold KGT if and only if it is there.

An alternative way is to go here, and enter your address at the “Search/Filter By:” widget.

After clicking the Apply button you will see your KGT balance, which is either 0 or 1.

Web3 Check

  1. Install web3 version 1.0.
  2. Copy this code snippet.
  3. Enter your real address at line 11 and save changes.
  4. Execute the script and see the result.

The script is using the infura public node. You can use your own local node by changing the url address at line 2.
